<< 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"?

David. Some poor misguided souls believe that the names of camera brands
other than Olympus, when written or even spoken, without the * replacing the
vowels, form part of an evil incantation.
Bokeh means 'confused' or 'confusion'. Viz 'jisa bokeh' ie jet lag. In this
context it refers to the out-of-focus images of the image, specifically the
'smoothness' or otherwise. Certain lenses are reknowned, apparently, for their
performance in this respect.
