What gear does Scott Kivowitz recommend for achieving stunning bokeh in Lightroom?

For the Lens Blur feature in Lightroom and Lightroom Classic, the beautiful thing is: you do not need any specific gear to achieve stunning bokeh. The effect is created in software using depth mapping and subject detection, and it is completely non-destructive, just like contrast, clarity, or vignetting.

That said, starting with a sharp, clean file always helps:

1. A reasonably modern camera (mirrorless or DSLR)
2. A lens in the 35–85mm range
3. Shooting at moderate apertures (f/2.8–f/5.6) for good subject separation

If you want to see my current kits, I keep them updated on my kit page and Amazon shop, both linked in the description of my Lens Blur YouTube video.
