Defocused cricles of light aren't perfect – you can have reservations concerning slight onion-ring bokeh visible inside the circles which, most probably, stems from using as many as three aspherical elements. Also a lighter rim makes itself felt and its intensity increases with stopping down the aperture. It would be difficult to miss the influence of mechanical vignetting which, by f/2.8, cuts out almost half of the circle. In the next chapter such a performance will be keenly felt for sure.
