Oh and thanks Micheal for replying so quickly – this is my first time posting on Creative Cow but I’ve been taking advice from here for many years!

I believe I found the solution – at least it improves things an awful lot – however it requires another 3rd party piece of software to do best (although apparently you can achieve a similar effect using built in effects).
Here is the link to the video which solved my issue – essentially what you need to do is apply a very specific soft blurring effect to the edge of the sharper parts of the depth pass. Using a regular blur won’t work it has to be offset by a negative vector blur to make it work.

I have tried using the inbuilt Camera Lens Blur and Sapphires entire range of Z-blur options – playing around with all the settings to try and get something to work. I even tried Nuke out to see if I could get a better result but a similar issue appeared (although I think it managed it better than AE).
