Its actually a screw mount on the SLIIs (the lens hoods we're talking about). I guess they wanted to sell you more hoods after the bayonet style original SLs. I preferred the bayonets myself. The Zeiss are bayonet too, fwiw.
Originally posted by Abbazz Great picture Kelly, thanks for sharing. Echoing James statement, I find the front bokeh even more astonishing than the background bokeh. Do you have any other pictures showing the front bokeh of this lens?
Cheers!

Thanks for your comments guys. Her elbow blended in with her knee in the foreground, made a strange amorphous shape, heh. I just dug around for any more front bokeh examples I had on my flickr, there are two that show it fairly well, one is a repost:
Note the front flower, kinda 'ghostly' -
And again, only more ghostly -
I'll experiment specifically with this and see what gives.
