I'm not well familar with all possibilities of getting the bokeh effect so I'm glad to read what you said in your post. I'd vaguely understood in the past that telephoto lenses add to the effect but wasn't sure how the aperture fit in all of this. So the lower the aperture number, the better? Those f1.4 lenses are so much more expensive than even just the next stop, the f1.8s.
