Thanks Tim,
I'll have a look around the site. I'll admit that I am holding out in
the hope that Pentax will bring the perfect lens out later this year.
But I'm not going to hold my breath.

This does not answer your question. But, I've seen outstanding bokeh from
the Sigma 100-300/4, if that's the lens you are referring to.
BTW. You can search for examples of specific lenses on this site
http://www.treknature.com/
Looking there should give you a rough idea on bokeh on long lenses.

Subject: How to choose a lens to give pleasant bokeh?
Hi all,
I'd like to try and find some information on the bokeh of lenses before
I go out and buy one. Apart from asking on the list if any one has an
example of the bokeh produced by a particular lens, are there any sites
with examples or listing lenses with good and bad bokeh?
In particular I've been thinking of getting a 300mm lens for use with
birds and similar small wildlife - ideally I would like a super sharp
100 - 300 f4 constant zoom (possibly optimised for digital to make it
lighter). Sigma make one and I was thinking of it (you can't find it in
any camera stores in Australia to try first - at least I haven't) until
I saw an image taken by one of the list members, which I thought had
some rather nasty bokeh.
So how do you find lenses with good bokeh before going out and buying
them?

Gonz is onto something when he points at the harsh bokeh. So now I
wonder:
Is there anything I can do to make it less harsh in Phootoshop
(Elements 3)?
Gaussian Blur is one obvious answer. It helps, but it does not take it
right
where I want.
Does anybody have some input on this?
