Is there a good test to determine the quality of a lens' bokeh?  Gary's
tests are quite helpful in determining sharp lenses, but what about the
bokeh?
I have been immensely satisfied with the bokeh from the 85/2, but less so
with the 28/2.  is there any source that describes  the different lenses in
these terms?  What are the terms to describe bokeh (Double-line, etc.)?
 
Interesting!
I'd never thought to even *care* about the bokeh of my 28/2.0 Zuiko -- I'm 
forever using it in situations where I can take advantage of its tremendous 
depth-of-field, so virtually everything in the picture's in focus. 
See, ferinstance, http://www.telusplanet.net/~garth/whitesands01.jpg
I've never actually seen descriptive adjectives attached to the term 
'bokeh,' but then, most people don't accuse me of being the most attentive 
person they know...  ;-)   I have a technical article about 'bokeh' if you 
want (it's in .PDF format, and has made the rounds before).
