Here, check this link: Here

All lens can but some need specific conditions eg. camera to subject distance, subject to background distance, depending on lens specs. Read and learn about it first before you make a decision like hurhur I will buy D3X so to make gooody bokeh!

You make it sound like bokeh is an action, like taking a photograph.
Bokeh is pleasing, or ugly, but you cannot DO bokeh.

You have to be specific with these things, or else you confuse others.

i THINK you meant to say ask whether only certain lenses can achieve a very shallow/thin Depth of Field, so you can get the background to be very out-of-focus, am I right?

Thank you Eric for comparison between the lenses, may I know which kind of Sigma lens you're using? The Bokeh look smooth!

 

[erictan8888]

the sigma lens is the 70-300mm.... sigma is pretty well known for that lens...

but already sold the lens....

bokeh also depends on background. imho, u can only tell a lens has good bokeh if the BG has light sources. see how the blurred areas are rendered. ;p

if the background is uniform, bokeh will usually look good on any lens, if there is shallow DOF.

Might I correct you on that point. Sorry to nitpick once again. A lens does not HAVE good bokeh. It HAS glass elements mounted in some arrangement onto a barrel.
The lens can PRODUCE pleasing bokeh though, if it's a good lens.

But yeah overall I agree with your point about wanting to have a visible background in order to judge the quality of the bokeh produced. For the picture of the Yashica camera, the background is totally black. The OOF area of the camera is just slightly blurry, so nothing to comment about.
