Your comments were a bit patronizing but if everyone agreed with everyone else this list would be quite boring!
But it is my PREFERENCE to push the little lever-thingy and judge for myself if I like the effect. And lack of DOF is where I am going here I guess. How fuzzy is the background compared to the sharpness of the subject? That sort of thing. I do a lot of macro work where I want the background blurred but the subject sharp front to back. By the way, what is bokeh? I also enjoy doing the wide-angle shots where everything is in focus from foreground to infinity. I don't need to use DOF preview in these cases. Thanks.
