Ok, I'm just farting around. When you by one of the lenses you have to
run them through the tests so make sure that someone hasn't
disassembled them and put them back together any old way they felt
like. It happens. I have one that is literally less sharp than the
bottom of a Coke bottle (remember those?) because of that.

And ... I've always heard that the Sonnars had such nice bokeh:

f4.0

f2.8

I don't know about the bokeh, but I can tell you ... I'm allowed one
shot, two is too many.
