That bokeh isn't crazy, it's crap. I see a crap lens here and I wouldn't waste the money. The low light capabilities are useless in a long run. Anyone would be better off getting a VC 35/1.4 Nokton or even the 40/1.4 Nokton lens for less money. Wow, i agree with David, and Ark-kun and the others. That bokeh isn’t crazy, it’s crap.

Thanks Steve for bring this to my attention!

Is it a 50mm lens and, therefore, 100mm on MFT, or a 25mm lens behaving as 50mm? Steve, I’m being a bit thick here I’m sure, but what do you mean by “hyperprime”?

Glad you're testing and posted samples! The bokeh is swirly in the worst way, IMO defeating the f/0.95 *daytime* advantage. "Horrific," as Garon says, describes it--again, IMO, it's beyond "character" and into "What the H%^# happened to the background?" territory. I hate to ask, but when you're shooting, could you consider doing some "available darkness" shots and post those? Perhaps the bokeh is less of an issue when the lighting is lower, which isn't a full fix but may redeem the lens OOF rendering somewhat. Thanks!

Steve has shown us samples that we know what to expect, now we know "don't use it when you have treeperches in the background" ;)...unless you like it for yourself. and that point is the most important. groove on steve and thanX for sharing your impressions. i just would say, as it is with every lens, that you have to know when the bokeh works and when not. …and i think we talk about character and characters haven’t to be perfect.
