I've been shooting a 5Dmk3 for over a year now. And while I love the body it isn't well suited as a sports and wildlife camera. So, I'm going to sell it because I find myself wanting the extra "Reach" and speed of an APS-C body for sports and wildlife. I'm looking at the 7Dmk2. I would like to be able to use the body for portraits as well . I'm a HUGE fan of Bokeh / separation in portraits. And, I understand the relationship of F stop / focal length and distance to subject in relation to bokeh on a FF body. I need advise on lens that will give that nice OOF background and reasonable working distance when using an Crop sensor body such as the 7Dmk2. Am I correct in assuming that a lens such as a 50mm f 1.4 ( APS-C factor of 1.6 = 80mm f 2.24 ) would give me results similar to what I get with my 5Dmk3 and say an 85mm f 1.8 as far as the OOF area in a portrait ? And if my thinking is on track would that also mean that the same 85mm 1.8 I mentioned would work as well and give similar results as a 135 f 2.0 ? ( 85mm f 1.8 x 1.6 crop factor = 136mm f 2.88 ) The math alone says I'd get what I'm looking for but, I have no experience with a crop body.
Thanks is advance
