Here's an image of some gorgeous autumn beech leaves at Blashford Lakes reserve (near Ringwood, Hampshire), backlit by the low afternoon sun (3.00pm mid-November).
1/1000th sec; f/11.0; ISO 1250; D750; 500mm PF
Pleased to note that the bokeh is pretty good (to my eyes anyway!) but the out-of-focus highlights do have a hard edge to them. I understand this to be an artefact of the Phase Fresnel technology.
It'd be interesting to compare the bokeh and OOF highlights on this 500mm PF and the 300mm PF. I'll try to borrow a 300mm PF and do the test...
