Digital BW, The Print

Austin, here is a good comparison of resolution and bokeh for Canon's short
tele lenses (85 f/1.8, 100 f/2, and 135 f/2L).  I use the 135 f/2L on my
Canon D30 and it produces razor sharp images with beautiful background bokeh
(with the lens wide open).

What about bokeh?  I used an F1 in the 70's (one of my favorite cameras) and
found the bokeh to be not really as good...it was blotchy, and not very
smooth.  Not near as harsh as a Fuji lense, but not as nice as my favorite
Zeiss or Leitz lenses.
