Bokeh will also depend on how far your interviewee is from the background. If they are closer, the bokeh won’t be as dramatic. But yes, this lens will give you a touch of bokeh. If you want a cheap way to get more bokeh, the 50mm FE 1.8 is only $200 on sale.

Hi Isabell, Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. This lens can certainly create blurry background. Please note F3.5-5.6 will not be able to give you a level of blurriness like F2.8 or lower F-stop lenses do. This lens will still allow subject to be separated from the background. Please always set the F-stop to the lowest number when you are shooting interview video to allow for maximum separation between subject and background. Thank you so much for your question. And thank you for choosing Sony.
