Poll: Which Bokeh do you prefer?

[Penzes]

I don't like them all. The rendering is way to hard, even when I'm considering the horrible conditions.

Voted for the first one.

I am not all that keen on these examples as I find them a little harsh. My preference is for a softer bokeh when I can get it. Here is an example from my personal favourite - but for an SLR not an RF, my Nikkor 180mm f2.8

And here is an example from an RF lens - the Canon 50mm f1.2 shot wide open which likewise produces pretty soft bokeh And needless to say low contrast

the second image got more exposed than the first one.

I'll guess not. The first one does have higher contrast, which is not surprising since the Zeiss MC is as good as any in the industry and the Zeiss lenses are renowned for their contrast. The contrast difference is far more noticeable to my eyes than the bokeh difference; it's why I prefer #1.

For me, its a choice of which I dislike the least. #1 is not to my liking at all, but #2 is much worse.

I've changed my mind. Now I dislike #1 less than I dislike #2. I'm with Peter: His picture has my kind of Bokeh!
