>>3389486Thanks, seems to have finally clicked for me.
Newer kit lenses don't have this sort of old-school colourful markings on them
I always found it confusing how a smaller aperture meant being able to have stuff from a larger depth in focus.
However it explains why someone once told me if I wanted to have nice bokeh it meant using the lowest zoom and lowest f-number for that zoom level and focus on something close up to force background blur.
I'll delve into the physics of light refraction to figure out my confusion in a little more depth (hah) but for now this has helped.
