en, your mileage may vary on portrait mode. fur is what is struggles the most with. personally I'd go for getting close and letting the natural depth of field shine through for what it's worth. most phones are at like an f:/2.8. they can have natural bokeh, they're just ultra wide angle so you gotta get close.
it may just be me, but those wonky edges make it look worse than if it just didn't have the effect at all.
You're totally right. I try and push it so that the portrait process is just enhancing the already there lens bokeh. But when I really want it to look right I just get the Alpha.
