Maybe you don't want the foreground in your photo, only the subject and a blur background

I completely understand on the depth of field and blur when you taking pictures close. What am trying to achieve is similar results when taking group pictures of family. Usually the background is all blur but the area in front of the subject is not that blur to create isolation.

Then try using a shorter focal length so you can get closer to the subjects

Finally pulled the trigger and ordered 77 Ltd silver edition today The primary factor for me is the 25% discount from dcxpert ebay , size for travel and the focus throw on my existing 100mm macro which is very annoying. Hope I wont regret the decision and thanks everyone for valuable feedback

In the history of photography, no one has ever regretted buying the FA 77 Enjoy the legendary lens !

Completely agree. Got the lens and took few indoor shots. The AF is not that great in low light which is a known fact but am surprised on how light the lens is. The build quality is amazing and am waiting to it outdoor for a spin.
