Question: DSCH1 lens

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital.zlr (More info?)

My bigger question was in the last post, but I have a short question for
those who have an opinion. I love the quality of pictures on the Sony
cameras with Carl-Zeiss lenses. I am interested in the DSCH1 but notice it
does not have a C-Z lens. Does anyone have an opinion about the lens on the
DSCH1? Is it anything special?

I've put up a couple of fairly random samples from my early use of the
camera at:

If these samples are suitable, how does the bokeh compare?
