I absolutely agree with your comments. That is the only thing I dislike about my copy of that lens. At times it's AWFUL! In fact, to me it seems even worse than the bokeh was on my old 50~200 SWD. Bokeh on that lens was not horrible but nothing to write home about. I've had some pretty good photos ruined by the lousy bokeh on the 40~150 however and I try to keep that in mind when using it, and avoid situations that I think will exhibit this.

Well at least I'm not alone in my thought. I was wondering if anything in the camera might be contributing to it like IS being turned on. Apparently not.

I may return it because it's just in so many of my pictures and seeing it brings me mental discomfort that I don't think should be there in a lens of the price range.
