total horseshit. I already explained this lens gives ugly bokeh in the viewfinder wide open and with ZERO USM on RAW files.
Secondly some of my shots were wide open which uses NO blades and the lens has a perfectly round aperture at F2.0 so that cannot be a source of "bad bokeh created by processing" I dont belive thats even possible on web or larger images with normal processing. Lastly, how would you explain the ugly/weird VF behavoir of this lens wide open (as all PK lenses operate for the VF)? None of this so called "expainations" true nor make any sense IMHO. jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of William Robb Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2007 1:39 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: M85mm f2.0 bokeh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thibouille" Subject: Re: M85mm f2.0 bokeh > Very interesting, William. > Specially the difference of rendering of bokeh at f/2 and f/4.

The M85/2 has a 5 blade diaphragm, which can make the bokeh a bit harsh at mid apertures, but with careful sharpening, it stays quite nice. The problems are when you have a background that is out of focus, but not so out of focus that USM ignores it. Then you get a really ugly (and completely avoidable) double image bokeh.
