How lens design affects bokehĪlthough the shape of the aperture has an effect on the bokeh shape, the design of the lens also has an impact. However, most lenses have fewer blades in the aperture, which leads to polygonal irises, resulting in point sources of light in out- of-focus areas taking on the same multi-sided shape. With some lenses, especially those with a high number of aperture blades, this results in the brighter areas within defocused parts of the image appearing as diffuse circles. When you shoot at anything other than the lens’ widest aperture setting, any out of focus points in the image will take on the shape of the iris-the physical shape of the aperture the light is passing through. In short, the lens creates the bokeh, not the photographer. It is increasingly common to hear photographers discussing bokeh, often describing it as ‘good’ or ‘bad,’ as though it’s something you can specifically control, but you cannot-the effect is caused by the shape of the lens aperture, the physical design of the lens, and the extent to which the lens is corrected for spherical aberration.
