Z Defocus with Bokeh effects (not just a Z Blur)...
Are there any known workarounds??
Workarounds that uses basic Nodes and can be found in almost any node based compositor??

I've seen quite nice Defocus features in lots of programs but Z-Defocus I've seen only in shake.

I need a workaround that would allow the bokeh effects to change size when the focus is animated not just fade in or out of view (i.e not just mask them out with the Z channel)
am I asking too much??

I don't mind if it's a bit complicated, you can always save it as a macro and reuse it later.

P.S: I posted this on another forum, but thought it won't hurt to ask here too.
(Should I link to the other thread, or that would be rude??)
