Re: NX20 - DOF/bokeh with the 60mm

If you are trying to shoot a small moving insects at f2.8 at close or even medium distances you are going to have a bad time. Depending on the subject you will probably be at f8 and smaller.

Add more light:
Try on a sunnier day
Add static lights
Add flash(s). Even in daylight
Or:
Bump up the ISO.

I've seen people use multi-arm flash mounts when butterflying and that seemed to work well.
