That's an intriguing image Jim, really weird out of focus background. I
suspect that for early computer designed lenses the criteria was resolution &
contrast in the in-focus part of the image - nobody seemed to talk about
'bokeh' in those days.
Which OM Zuikos were designed with the aid of computers ? Does it show in the
images they produce ?
