Bundestrainer Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share #21 Posted June 17, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have got a question to ask. Given that the minimal focossing distance of the Summilux is 70 cm and that of the Noctilux is 100 cm, the depth of field is as follows: Noctilux: subject distance: 100 cm selected f-stop: 1 Depth of field near limit: 98.9 cm Depth of field far limit: 101.2 cm Total: 2.28 cm Summilux: subject distance: 70 cm selected f-stop: 1.4 Depth of field near limit: 69.2 cm Depth of field far limit: 70.8 cm Total: 1.54 cm Doesn't that mean that the ability of the Summilux to render an unsharp bokeh at minimal focussing distance is almost as good as that of the Noctilux?

Advertisement Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Hi Bundestrainer, Take a look here I could get a Noctilux 50/0.95 today - don't know.... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Yes, it doesn't. Do not confuse depth-of-field with background blur. Also don't confuse background blur with bokeh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington Posted June 18, 2011 Share #24 Posted June 18, 2011 For most of the years I was a photographer there was no such thing as ‘’bokeh’’ as the term had not been invented yet. Now that it is, and it’s become fashionable to even judge lenses on this alone, I just have to laugh…. ten-thousand bucks for ‘’brokeh’’ ….. dedicated followers of fashion. Yup.
