NO, it's the quality of the blur created by that lens, not the blur!

So apparently, not so easy!! :lol:

Bad blur=Bad bokeh, but it's still bokeh.
The site shows examples of several Canon lenses, including the 85 1.2.
"Bokeh (Boke) is a variably defined property or concept originating in Japan that has come to refer to the pleasing quality of the out of focus (blurred) areas of an image related to factors including spherical aberration and the shape of the aperture opening. Smooth, uniform, "aesthetically pleasing" blur is referred to by many photographers as "good" Bokeh whereas background blur which shows evidence of "ugly" shape and structure is "bad" Bokeh. Articles by Bob Atkins and Harold M. Merklinger on Luminous Landscape provide more detailed technical information and examples."
