I've bought quite a number of my EF lenses for their bokeh, including the 24L, 50L, 85L, 100L, 135L and 100-400L II lenses from the EF family. These lenses all excel with their ability to generate bokeh and to present it in a predictable and pleasing manner.

I guess you mean shallow DoF, bokeh is the "quality" of the out of focus areas.

No, I definitely mean the bokeh.  Shallow DOF is one thing but the Bokeh is another thing altogether...   Here's a sample from each of those lenses (below) to illustrate why I'm referring to Bokeh and not just 'shallow DOF'.  All are clear examples of Bokeh.
