There is swirly bokeh, angular bokeh, smooth bokeh, etc. Some are considered more pleasing to the eye than others. Let me reiterate my last statement above - study the angle of view and field of view differences between focal lengths before you buy. If you have a kit lens set it at the respective focal lengths (28,35,50,etc) and try to determine what you like best. The reason I don't care to much for the 50 on a crop camera is I have a 105 that I use for portraits. I need the wide angle 28 to gather real estate. I have a 50 but it only gets used on my film cameras.  I would imagine that if I lived near where you live I would do a lot of wildlife stuff so that would call for a long telephoto like a 300.  I want to get one someday but I still need other focal lengths before I get there.</p></blockquote><p></p>
