Two things I'd like to say, however: 1. The importance of bokeh depends a lot on one's type of photography. For example, both wildlife and portrait photography can be enhanced by good bokeh or can be marred by the lack thereof. 2. Most high quality lenses (especially Leica) render good bokeh so it's usually a non-issue. However, there are still some "dogs" out there and, if you see a picture with significant out-of-focus areas taken using a lens with ugly bokeh, it's not a pretty sight! Just MHO.
