Subject: [Leica] Kyle's wedding photos - bokeh

I normally don't think very much of the Bokeh Cult, but looking at
one of Kyle's wedding photographs...

<http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/pix/5-12-01-wedding/26.jpg>

(170kb  JPEG)

... I noticed just how much bad lens bokeh can spoil an otherwise
excellent image.  Brilliant composition, timing, sense-of-light...
but now look at the three-cornered highlights in the background
and the out-of-focus leaves on the table in the foreground.

This was via a Canon 50mm f1.5 right?  Yeech.

I guess a real-thing Summarit would have been better after all.  ;?)


Regds,
