What you are referring to as "bokeh" is actually depth-of-field, the portion of a scene that appears sharp in the image. Bokeh is the way a lens renders out of focus light, and it's something you aren't seeing in the images above. Quality is definitely up to the individual shooter/viewer! If you think your kit lens can get you the quality you are looking for than more power to you. It's going to be cheaper for you in the long run :) .-= Jenna's most recent blog post: <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThatWife/~3/akG4S3O6iTU/" rel="nofollow">Our Heavenly Family</a> =-.

Of course it is darker. That's obvious as aperture is less. And there is also less bokeh, but cmon bokeh doesn't add any "quality". .-= octavian's most recent blog post: <a href="http://tavi.ws/?p=5526" rel="nofollow">Тлен</a> =-.
