My friend thinks that macro lenses i.e. 90mm macro lenses don't make as
good of a portrait lens because the bokeh for more macro lenses are
uglier. I don't know where he gets this from, but I do think the bokeh
from my 90mm f2.5 Tokina is not as nice as some of the shots I've seen
from the OM 90mmf2. The Tokina is clearly sharper, but the OM does have
much nicer bokeh..
Now now, Gary's test or photodo's test shows that Tokina 90/2.5 is sharper
than the Zuiko 90/2, but it is JUST ONE SAMPLE :-) So I wouldn't say the
Tokina 90/2.5 is clearly sharper....
90/2 Bokeh when used as portrait

I don't have a macro and non-macro of same or similar length, and so I'd
love to hear one of you who does have similar length lenses; does a macro
lens have uglier bokeh when used as a portrait lens?
