I say what I said before, any shots with this lens that dont show bad bokeh are just shots that dont reveal its bad bokeh. I can take photos all day long with it that dont reveal its bad bokeh, but I can also take some that do because it IS bad bokeh compared to most Pentax lenses when the the lens's bokeh is clearly ILLUSTRATED/revealed. jco

All those bokehs look fine to me. :-) I would guess that John's bad bokeh is an anomaly of the particular circumstances and conditons when the shot was taken .
