Oh didn't see that photo at all.

And I Don't know what onion bokeh you talk about also, I only know some lens cannot generate circle bokeh but Hexagon bokeh. But for me both got it nice moment actually.

You are looking at mobile camera not DSLR lens, bokeh output is by how many blade inside the lens [...]

I may not have been that clear with my statement, or maybe you missed the photo.

My comment has nothing to do with the shape, how round, how hexoganish etc. the bokeh is. Again, refer to the image below.

user posted image

It is to do with the texture within the bokeh itself. Compare between the Tamron and the Nikon. What do you see? The Nikon's bokeh is smooth and milky. The Tamron's bokeh on the other hand, has a similar texture to that of a sliced onion, hence the term "Onion Bokeh". See embedded image below in the spoiler for that of a sliced onion to see the similarity.

Now, referring back to the image taken from the Vietnamese website, ignoring the shape of the bokeh (center bokehs are round, bokehs on the sides will be different).

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Viewing the image in the spoiler, you can see especially in the center bokeh, there are clear evidences of the Onion textures.

I hope this is clear now. I understand the mechanics of bokeh, how round it is dependent on the aperture blades etc., which is a whole different issue. I am talking about the texture of it. Not its shape.

[...] don't you think you hope too much? Thanks it can given you some bokeh effect as it is just a mobile phone.

Actually, I would rather it not have the bokeh if it is going to be the onion ones. LOL.

It is one reason I ended up paying extra for a 24-70mm 2.8L even though the Tamron is much cheaper. It gets really messy and dirty. But of course that's subjective. One person's poison is another person's perfume.

Edit: To place the onion photo into a spoiler so as to not affect the post size.

mmhmmm

Smooth would be preferable. I rather have no bokeh at all than to have one that's onion shaped, but gotta wait for someone to really test it. Could be an issue with the macro clip that guy was using.

official RRP - 2399 include charging dock as standard

any higher price consider as rip off


there's sellers offering lower price than RRP now for pre orders. but be careful don't get conned by tempting offers

I know lumia 1020 is very good in camera, but really the reviewer have to bash the xperia z1 so badly, at the same time praise other flagship like HTC one, s4, and lg g2 ? htc one capture great photo, but Z1 Not to mention that even the downsampled shots are nothing to write home about and the full resolution 20MP photos are lackluster

Well that's why we always read a few reviews instead of depending on 1 review. Reviewers are human also and everyone have different preference and expectation.
