The Limbo Connection club has replied to Marko Novosel clubMarko Novosel club has replied to The Limbo Connection clubYou don’t have much margin for error in pursuit of bokeh and sometimes the subject is not sharp. Reasons for this might include the sensor picking the wrong part of the subject, or movement, however slight, as you press the shutter. You cannot exclude the possibility of demanding more from the AF system than it can manage, notably at close focussing distances. I ask myself if bokeh always looks appealing and whether I would object if more of the picture was in focus. I might even prefer it if it was. And bokeh demands lenses which have fast apertures with f/1.4 being considered the very least. That is a cost that wedding photographers might accept, but why should amateurs? Bokeh is not essential. In times gone by nobody much missed it. They might even have criticised it as blurry. So I don’t really care much about bokeh. I might try to get it purely for amusement, that is all.
You are probably quite right to call bokeh a fetish.
I just want to be walking down this lane.

Dammit.
