1. image quality (no need google ba)
2. bokeh
3. aperture (f-number on wiki), ISO, shutter speed

research accordingly.

IQ are refer to the image quality, it has nothing to do to the IQ of the photographers.

Bokeh are refer to the quality of the Out of focus area which a lens can produce when using shallow depth of field, usually pursuing bokeh blindly will cause piggy bank to broke.

Stops-

In photography, stops are also a unit used to quantify ratios of light or exposure, with one stop meaning a factor of two, or one-half. The one-stop unit is also known as the EV (exposure value) unit.

taken from F-number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You should stop by any of our friendly National Library to pick up a basic photography book and start reading.
