Interesting Fact About Bokeh

I found a good site about bokeh.

1. The more extreme bokeh you can get is 600mm f/4.
2. 400mm f/5.6 and the 200mm f/2.8 has similar bokeh to the awesome 85mm f/1.2
3. 100mm f/2 has greater bokeh than 50mm f/1.2
4. 200mm f/2.8 has greater bokeh than 135mm f/2
5. Its expensive to get super bokeh with diameters of over 100mm

Its easier to increase focal length to get more bokeh than it is to increase aperture size.

The 200mm f/2.8 probably has the best bokeh per dollar.

And the 85mm f/1.2 has more bokeh than 135mm f/2


Here's some interesting facts that came out of this table:

Photography Quotes

Photograph: a picture painted by the sun
without instruction in art.
~Ambrose Bierce


You don't take a photograph.
You ask, quietly, to borrow it.
~Author Unknown


Sometimes I do get to places
just when God's ready
to have somebody
click the shutter.
~Ansel Adams


No place is boring,
if you've had a good night's sleep
and have a pocket
full of unexposed film.
~Robert Adams,
Darkroom & Creative Camera Techniques, May 1995


It's weird that
photographers spend years
or even a whole lifetime,
trying to capture moments
that added together,
don't even amount
to a couple of hours.
~James Lalropui Keivom


When you photograph people in colour
you photograph their clothes.
But when you photograph people in B&W,
you photograph their souls!
~Ted Grant


While there is perhaps
a province in which
the photograph can tell us
nothing more than what we see
with our own eyes,
there is another in
which it proves to us
how little our eyes
permit us to see.
~Dorothea Lange
