[QUOTE="skene, post: 219261, member: 13155"] Well you have to first know what you are doing to try and get the shallow DOF (depth of field). So tell us really what you enjoy taking pictures of, and what modes do you shoot at. If you are constantly shooting on "Auto" mode, the likelihood that you will get what you are looking for is unlikely. You want to be able to adjust for what you need. BTW, the 18-55 while it is just a kit lens is also a semi-decent lens for producing that blur (bokeh) that you want so much. If you want a bit more bokeh in your shot, maybe you may want to invest into the 35 or 50mm 1.8g. At wide open it will give you exactly what you want, but if you are shooting on auto it still may not give you what you want. Just sayin'. If you need to ask and are curious to know, most of the photography that I do is macro and street photography. [/QUOTE]
