Subject: [Leica] Naked Eye Bokeh

On the weekend I felt the need to evaluate the out of focus rendering of
different apertures.  But I was using an M6.  It had a diopter fitted,
which meant I had my specs off a lot of the time.
Which made me think, why not take a series of shots with a particular
lens of a suitable subject with different light effects, at different
apertures, to then calibrate my naked eye bokeh with the pictures
produced by the lens.  Then I'd have a known and handy reference for
bokeh evaluation.  

Being short sighted aint so bad after all!
