Point taken Bill, thanks - but is the aperture on these lenses wide enough?, seeing that the DOF increases with increased angles.... Of course the level of blur or 'bokeh'(i believe)is subjective, I just wanted to knoe whether it is somewhat achieveabke, say equivalent to an f4 on a 50mm, or f5.6? etc.
