I prefer the one with more depth of field. But that's only my preference. Other people may like something different. Typically, I like to have great depth of field when possible. If that is not possible like when using a telephoto lens then I like to have blurred backgrounds that are not distracting.

Dig,

Thanks for your observations.

I've kind of decided that when taking wider views, or landscape videos to step down the aperture to larger numbers like f/8 to f/11.

I was just watching a video the other day that was saying that Hollywood film makers use larger apertures like f/1.8 to f/2.8 for closeups for a reason. It helps isolate the subject.

I'm going to have to give those a try.
