The H1 lenses were spec'd by Hasselblad and designed by Fuji (with the
exception of the zoom). This is mentioned by Reichmann, but a lot of the
comments following the review suggest the lenses were designed by
Hasselblad.

Until someone reviews all the lenses, we can only speculate on the bokeh
characteristics. According to the Hasselblad lens designer, "particular
attention was paid to improving the out of focus areas". I doubt the bokeh
could be any worse than my 180mm CFi lens.
