I like to breath. I like good food, I like women who aren't on prozac. (i.e. just had a blind date, and surprise!) =A0I'm sure we have other things in common. :-) On this interesting subject, bokeh is probably affected by aberrations, but not totally. It is also just an effect based on the shape of the aperture, and many characteristics based on the correction of aberrations (a lens with no aberrations would be so because of these corrections, right?) =A0peculiar to that lens. I've noticed the performance of my new 35mm Summilux ASPH. has some very interesting characteristics. (My web page opening picture is taken with that lens wide open in a dark , contrasty situation and Fuji 800 neg. film). =A0I'd say I like the bokeh, but I'm just beginning to learn this len= s and its characteristics. And it's love at =A0first sight. Dang near the perfect lens. http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO God is REAL, unless explicitly declared INTEGER.
