Re: Turbo Lens Help!
You won't get the bokeh from the 12-24mm because defocusining effect of bokeh, ie "creamyness" increases as the zoom factor increases. So an 85mm lens will have "more" bokeh then the 50mm, etc. That said the other thing that mainly determines bokeh quality is the blades that control the apertures...whether they are rounded… -

Turbo Lens Help!
Turbo being the speed @ which I am having to figure this out. :huh The soft, dreamy bokeh most of you get in your portrait work w/ the 50mm (manufacturer un-specific) lens is outstanding. I apologize if this is incorrectly placed (forum). I am bidding on another lens and have about 4hrs to make a decision. It's either the…
