[OM] Re: E-400 Caution

[Chuck Norcutt]

I haven't heard about flare but I did see one shot taken with (I think) 
the 70-300 DO lens to illustrate some outrageous bokeh.  Made me swear 
off any notion of ever owning one.  The bokeh was similar to the donuts 
one gets with a mirror lens but much worse.  Each donut was actually 
composed of a series of concentric donuts such that they looked like 
little targets.  I believe that the bokeh is actually representative of 
the DO element which I think has a series of concentric rings in it. 
But take this with a larger grain of salt since I can't recall where I 
saw any of this.
