Ok, but I think the quality or lack thereof is independent of performance optimization at any paricular focussing distance, and since this is a "portrait" type lens, it probably is focus optimized at a closer distance than inifinity. My hunch is they sacrificed the bokeh quality to make it physically a VERY small optical/mechanical design. jco

I think the key here is the focus distance. Some lenses are formulated for medium or infinity focus. Other, macros for example, are formulated of close distance performance. Again, I compliment you on the f11 shot of the bottle brush. Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "J. C.
