Can the Canon 85/1.5 Dethrone the King of Bokeh, the V4 35MM Cron?

Honestly, the canon 85/1.5 has the creamiest bokeh I have ever seen. I think it is even better than the fabled v4 35mm summicron. What do you think? IMO I don't think enough people have seen what the 85/1.5 can do.

All of these were shot wide open at f1.5

Very nice, I'd love to see some portraits on a low grain B/W film for comparison...

you talking about quality of bokeh or the amount of DOF? Two totally different things. 85 has less dof @ 1.5 (obviously) which would explain the extra "creaminess" in the oof area
