You're right. The bokeh sucks. However, i'd never use a 40mm lens for that type of shot. if I want narrow depth of field and nice booked, I'll go to at least an 85. I use a 40 for scenery, street people shots where I want the environment to be part of it, building interiors, and other shots where depth of field and a fairly wide angle of view are desirable. Booked isn't usually an issue for me when using this type pe of lens. paul
