Thank you! Though the bokeh is not in the camera but the lens. Lenses don't have to be expensive to produce great bokeh. In the first photo in this post I used a 50/2.0 Pentax lens from the 80:s with an adapter for my camera. I paid about €15 for it. Looking at your blogg I'm guessing you are shooting digital. I don't know what system you use, but if you are using one with an APS-C sensor then you can find e.g. an Pentax K-mount to Canon EOS adapter for about US$ 5-15 on eBay and probably use most old Pentax lenses without any problems. As long as you are not afraid to shoot with manual focus that is :)
Hi Linus! I currently am back to using a Canon Powershot A640 from 2006, so I can't really work around with lenses. I also had the SX40 powershot and a 30D EOS for a while. I am looking forward to buying a Lumix G5 :] I believe the A640 has a manual focus somwhere, but I wouldn't know how as it has no touchscreen nor can I focus with e.g. a lensring. The G5 has both! :]
I wonder why my assumption is that everyone is on a Canon or Nikon (D)SLR system :) The G5 seems to offer a lot of interesting options for lenses via adapters and what not. I believe that "old glass" has the most beautiful bokeh. So when/if you get your hands on the G5 I think that it's well worth checking out :)
I don't know, I guess it runs in the family here? My mom used to have an Olympus too but eventually Canon. So I picked a Canon too.
I think I can use some of the old glasses on the G5, but I figure I need to save some money after I buy the G5 itself before I can look at those lenses!

Very nice!
We have one in our garden too but unfortunately I don't really have a camera which makes such lovely bokeh :[
Thank you!

Love how the pink and blue contrast!
Yeah, they complement each other quite well :)
