As far as my use of the asterisk is concerned, it is to avoid giving false
hits to search engines looking for news, views etc on other camera brands,
which would tend to dilute the concentration on OM (hah! And on SUV etc etc)
Bokeh - bokeh, from japanese boke, unsharp. The appearance of the
out-of-focus areas of a photographic image. Also, the rendition of
out-of-focus image areas by a particular lens, i.e. a lens with a pleasing
out-of-focus rendition is said to have 'good bokeh.'
Try this link (the source of that definition) for a varied background -
http://www.bokeh.de/en/ although his link to Harold Merklinger's
(recommended) PDF on the subject is out of date, and should be -

Hi all:
I have a question that has been bugging me for quite a while.
Why, when refering to other manufacturers, their names are writen with
asterixs? Eg. C*n*n, N*k*n, etc.
The other is, Wht is "bokeh"?
peace
David
