I don't think it's as simple as you make out. It's plain to see that the A*85/1.4 exhibits less hard edge bokeh around the plane of focus, this translates directly to smoother OOF areas in the background regardless of the reach due to DOF (which in this case wouldn't likely be very significant assuming a 1m subject to lens distance and a 5m background distance) -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://picasaweb.google.com/distudio/PESO http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
