Since I'm the photographer of that image, allow me to explain that this was not meant to be "art", it's just a small 100% crop out of a much larger image. Its single and only purpose was to illustrate the poor bokeh.

[size="2"]. . . hmmm, i have indeed had problems with a somewhat light hearted attitude in my posts on the web at other sites, so . . . hmmm, so maybe me be careful - [/size]
[size="2"]and yes as i said previously, in my experience with this lens it does have a problem with bokeh at some settings but those settings seem to be restricted to a narrow range and so for me are not a problem - but as i also said above i don't use, say, 30mm-70mm length for my shots too much (liking wider or longer), so don't use this lens a lot, but never the less i find pictures from this lens nice and most tweakable - [/size]
. . . . ps. - ok, fair's fair, especially here -
- here for the record i have at last found this shot from the past that alerted me to the, um, difficult bokeh from this lens associated with these settings and style - anything moderately out of focus with some contrast becomes a problem - so this has made me avoid doing this type of thing again -
a900, 2470ZA@50, f.2.8, 1/1600 - 100% crop -
. . . so, pardon me all, & mst
and now i might just add this shot here for the record as a picture with not very different settings, ie. 40mm rather than 50mm and a tad softer -
