Re: XF 50mm f2 bokeh (blur)
1

The blur comment (bokeh) was really in response to EOSGUY's post, I'll copy and paste below. My experience with the lens is that it does have very good background blur. There are some excellent examples of blur in the Flickr page I linked to. (Don't end a sentence with a preposition)

I'll be controversial and state that this lens is in a strange 'nether fish nor fowl' territory for me, just me personally.

F2 on APSC as I have seen in many reviews and comparison photos even at 50mm really doesn't compress backgrounds much and has very hard transitions and contrasty bokeh or out of focus areas.
