Perhaps I was unclear.  I was not presuming to state your lens 
characteristic preferences, perhaps with the exception of silver nosed 
Zuikos, :-)
but that you comprehensively reponded to a list member's inquiry about 
8 mos ago regarding the dof differences between FF and FT
at the same aperture.
Nonetheless,  "I couldn't give a rip how narrow the DoF is."---those be 
 fightin' words for the selective focus affectionados. ;-)

Nah, I couldn't give a rip how narrow the DoF is. I'm more interested
in how
the bokeh looks. Even the lowly 50mm F3.5 macro lens does a great job in
that department.
