[QUOTE="hark, post: 672529, member: 13196"] I did a little more digging. Initially when I read up on the lens comparing the PF with my 300mm f/4D AF-S, I remember reading something about the previous version being a little better than the PF with one particular feature. I thought it had to do with bokeh, but since it was last year, I can't remember exactly what it referenced. Anyway, I found this article just now that shows the following bokeh from the PF (screen shot from article). It is the same type of bokeh that you experienced although no water droplets were involved. Here is a link to the article if you'd like to read more. Despite this issue, I still love my PF. The weight difference and VR is a determining factor for me over the 300mm f/4D AF-S. I LOVED using this older lens. Its images are stellar; however, I needed something lighter with VR. So far I haven't encountered this type of bokeh with my PF but haven't taken anything with bright lights and/or water droplets.
