Oh, yes, I see. I have some of them too like that. My mistake. I have
been having great fun trying all different sorts of lenses on my 20D. You
were right about the Carl Zeiss 50mm f/1.7 being a very sharp lens. The
bokeh is not too bad either. The 58mm Rokkor is a fun lens too to use.
Very very smooth bokeh. Great portrait lens. The other lens that is very
nice is the Pentax 55mm f/1.8. Extreme sharpness and nice bokeh. The
Topcon 58mm f/1.8 is another very sharp lens as well from what I have seen.
