Bokeh?

[superdiver]

I have seen this word a number of times on the threads.

What does it mean?:confused:

[Curtis N]

A term derived from the Japanese word for "fool" which when applied to a lens refers to the pleasing quality of the out of focus areas of an image produced by the lens. Thought to be related to factors like the shape of the aperture opening and spherical aberration.
