That CPC 28/2.8 lens - very commonly found in Olympus and other mounts - is
an example of a lens I have a love/hate relationship with. It's a true
close-focusing lens that doesn't distort at its maximum magnification of
around 1:4 - most folks wouldn't guess close ups taken with it were from a
wide angle. But the bokeh is harsh and it's not particularly sharp at
infinity. OTOH, it's sharp enough at middle distances, flare resistant,
well made, compact and, best of all, cost me $15 in like-new condition.

A picture that is worth a few words at least. A good visual demo of "bad"
bokeh. Good example, Lex.
