I don't understand that comment at all.

> What a nitpicking subject.

Not at all, in fact, it's a very important subject to many photographers.
Because you never heard of it, or it's not important to you, doesn't mean it
isn't important.

> I bet most Landscape photographers couldn't

Landscape photographs would not have anything to do with bokeh, as they
intentionally get ALL the image in focus.  That's a silly example.

> Show me some evidence where leica and zeiss
> intentionally design their lenses to have great bokeh!!!

Er, the fact that they have the best bokeh...and it's talked about in most
Leica books and Erwin Putz talks about it a lot, and it's well documented in
periodicals and magazines etc.
