What bokeh or what ever it's called do you all prefer?

What do you guys think of a circular aperture?

What about a EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM which has a circular aperture for a 30D?

they all have a circular apature.
it just depends on how many blades it has to make it a nicer smoother circle.

The more the better. 'Nuff said.

The more blades the more round the bokeh will look. 5 blades will look like a pentegon or a pentegon with curved sides.

You can see the pentagon shaped bokeh from a 5-blade 50mm f/1.8 on this one...
