“Film” defocus
I’m looking for a solid defocus plugin that emulates 35 mm filmcamera lenses and NOT an ordinary gaussianblur. Any tips?

The best in the “affordable” league is still Frischluft’s Lenscare. The best of them all is Sakura Lab’s Iris filter, but it’s not what I call affordable and it’s very prone to causing crashes (at least tzhe demo versions do).

DFT Composite suite – Defocus

It’s old, but my fave has always been “Super Rack Focus” part of the “Image Lounge” plug-ins. It not only does a great lens defocus, but does it based on a matte. The matte describes the focal plane. You can actually use this matte to create DOF and animate the focus plane and do a rack focus with it. Very cool.
If it wasn’t so old skool, you could feed a gradient into it’s matte channel and do the ol’ swing tilt lens look.

If you really need circles of confusion then stick with lenscare. It is a tad unstable at times but it looks pretty good.

Super Rack has circles of confusion. You can set how many blades your aperture has as well.
