Re: APS-C Bokeh vs M43 Bokeh?

Am not an APS-C owner but my observation is that format has a slightly easier time achieving smooth OOF transitions and pleasing OOF backgrounds. With µ4/3 a slightly faster and/or longer lens is needed and that tends to mean the more expensive zooms and primes.

The good news is the lens portfolio exists to do just that. The Nocticron, for example, looks wonderful as does the 75/1.8. Manual fans have a lot of choices with the Voigtlanders, etc. My "secret weapon" is the ZD35-100/2.0, a gigantic, amazing bucket of bokehs. And not to overlook hundreds of legacy primes that can be adapted and used with IBIS and high-res EVFs. Something for everybody.

Cheers,

Rick
