HT0812 - Obsessed with Minutiae

I was recently watching a lens review on YouTube in which the very capable reviewer was demonstrating the extraordinary shallow depth of field possible with the lens under discussion. There were examples showing the depth of field at f/1.7 versus f/2.8. No question there was a difference, but the difference didn't change the content of the photograph one wit. An important part of the creative life is to avoid the rabbit holes that suck us down into minutiae that doesn't matter.
