DC 105mm at f/2.8, defocus control at 2.8R, Hoya HD circular polariser, D90 body in bright sunlight. Suck up that bokeh, baby! The 85mm f/1.8G definitely won't get bokeh like that with its seven-blade aperture diaphragm (down from nine blades on the 85mm f/1.8D), besides not having defocus image control. The DC lens lets you melt the background into beautiful bokeh even when it's stopped down as far as f/8. Sorry, I don't have a convenient example now.
I'm not disputing that you can get great pictures with your lenses - pretty much any modern Nikon or Canon lens capable of great results. I'm just really happy with the effects from the DC, and haven't seen anything else that can achieve quite the same thing. I still maintain that this lens would let you take a beautiful enough picture of a woman that she'd want to have sex with you
