[rollei_list] Re: Bokeh

Take a look at The Lion King.  In the scenes where all the creatures in 
the jungle get their time to parade note what happens when the tiny 
insects carrying the leaves traipse by.  The zoom in  pushes the 
background out of focus in a manner completely consistent with a really 
fine lens.  Disney really pioneered this kind of detailed animation work 
in Beauty and The Beast.

Talk about a business where computers have changed the world!
