I really like the bokeh on the peacock and the autumn shots. I’m not sure if it’s something they aim for in the i series but I think the bokeh is excellent.

I've found the bokeh to be fine in general though it breaks down a bit, as with almost any other lens, on tree branches and such:

But I think it still does a good job all things considered.

Would love to see some more shots from this lens if you have them!

I've only added some favourites here but you can see all the shots in the Flickr album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jonathandmacdonald/albums/72177720300212294

Longer focal lengths like this aren't something I use a lot, so there aren't a lot of shots, but even for occasional use a short telephoto is a must-have. I'll add that I've used this for my daughters' school end-of-term presentations and some gymnastics performances by my niece, which aren't published online, but it's been a superb performer for them. In those situations a faster aperture would have been nice because there's typically fairly low light and subject movement so I might add the Lumix 85/1.8 at some point in the future.
