. . . well something like that, what I mean is 'out of focus back ground' . . . ? I'm not what you would call a beginner but do suffer from memory loss and association, so I'm always at the bottom of the heap, but what the hell, I enjoy the climb back. Like now, not held a proper camera for a 3 or 4 years, so all I learened back then has gone or is a haze in the back ground . . . no pun intended, good'un though aint it
Invested in a Lumix GX8 last week, while I have been reading up on 'What and How', I came across the x2 factor applied to micro 4/3 lens focal length. Fair enough even a numpty like me remembers that, however I had not apreciated how this affects the Boken (out of focus back ground) as one increases the size of the apature. Therefor the 'standard f number' we all cling to are x2 out, a 4/3 standard kit lens f3.5-5.6 is actualy f7-10.2, making a good all round focus, but no blured background option to isolate the image you are trying to capture? The recomendation is a fixed prime lens f1.7 or even f1.4 these giving fx2 and good Boken?
Mmm . . . set me thinking, so I have bought a GX12-35 f2.8, as my standard kit/walkabout, still not perfect with its 2x factor, but certaily better. Now I'm looking for a 14mm, f1.4 or 1.7 pancake type that will simply pop in my pocket for those special moments?
