Spherical aberration correction and some other properties of lenses affect bokeh more. The way in which a lens affects the bokeh of an image is very hard to come across, as nobody does standardized testing. I am trying to set that up on my website, but have a long way to go.

I'd really encourage people to try the 50mm f1.8 AF (Canon and Nikon do one). It's probably one of the best value, sharpest and most fun lens you'll attach to your SLR - and they only cost around 100 bucks, bargain! Nice article.
