I'm a big fan of isolating a subject by shooting wide open. But I think the subject should be the primary reason for the image, and the bokeh and background serving as the canvas and contrast for the subject. I recently bought a [gasp!] Zeiss 85/1.4 for the bokeh alone! And a Hexanon 50/1.2 [egad!] and a 50/1.5 [shudder!] for the bokeh. I'm a confirmed bokeh raton! Best Regards, Jeffery L.
