Some lenses appear more than once on this list. This pays respect to the fact that more than one visitor showed up with such a lens. Due to sensor size, shooting distance variations etc, the results differ enough to warrant leaving them all in for comparison.
The results may be surprising in some ranks, but also shows that some high expectations could not be met. Of course, the bokeh of a lens can change in it's appearance with changing environment and shooting conditions. portrait, macro, different backgrounds, different lighting situations, subject distance, size of the lights, depth of the room or sensor size.
