Need help with decent Bokeh on m50 with Vilitrox and EF lenses
1

Hi

So I have the first gen m50,

-kit 15-45 lens

-Canon Nifty 50, 1,8

Canon 75mm, 1.8

On video its so frustrating to get Bokeh with any of these, if any the 50mm seems to fit someone's head, shoulders and some bokeh background....but seriously, as good as the 75mm looks on products screws nails maybe all I can get is a face portrait...and im standing 3 meters away.

I watched a video or two on YouTube where they claim you can get the same bokeh o n any lens whether full frame or Cropped as long as you do the math, but they use little dolls or objects to achieve this and don't tell you that when its a person the whole perspective changes as the backgrounds are farther then ever front he lens..

Can anyone recommend a solution or a lens for shooting one or two people cooking cause I have this ugly kitchen in the background and I can see it looks great on the 75mm if I get blur out the horrible oven but I can't can't fit two people standing 2 meters away from them with this crazy Canon m50-Vilitrtox speed booster and any decent lens starting at 50mm.

please advise lol, im going crazy here doing math and all sorts of YouTube research only to find videos of people using pencils as an example.
