Actually Olympus did refer to these intangible qualities in their brochures
and manuals, altho' they didn't use the term "bokeh". They referred to
"pleasing out of focus backgrounds," etc.
Bokeh is fairly subjective altho' it's generally agreed that most Nikon
lenses, for example, exhibit an altogether different bokeh. Some describe
it as harsh. Some Nikkors and other lenses produce the effect of
double-vision or multiple-vision ("cross-eyed") out of focus backgrounds,
rather than a smooth blending characteristic of Zuikos (and many Canon FD
lenses).

...They demonstrate a real quality among lenses, that
doesn't seem to be big in the sales folders. Is there a technical
measurement for this effect? Is it all subjective?
