"f8 and be there" for me, most of the time. When I want a blurred background, it is usually when I I'm shooting a close-up of a person or a beastie and a flower. I'm not sure if people "see" at f5.6 - I feel I see at f 1.7 these days :) But somewhere there is something written about lens performance that claims various aspects of it come together best at the apature that is 3 or 4 stops (forgot which) down from the particular lens' widest apertature - which on a good many 50mm lenses would get you to f 5.6 annsan
