ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...ok. So I am setting it up right then, with the box and all. I just had no clue the picture had to be rendered in ultra for the setting to work properly. I was trying to get the proper effect in preview mode . Thanks Guitta...I'll give it a try right now.

Eryk, try raising the blur to at least 5%. Then you should be able to discerne a difference between what's "in focus" and what isn't. :)

Thanks Varian...I tried it. 5%, 10%, and out of frustration...35%. Still, all I get is everything out of fucus and blurred, just at various degrees. Any other ideas? I know I must have some setting wrong or something. (in case it matters, I am not using a volumetric atmosphere model)

I find that it is a bit easier to control the effect with a longer focal length such as 80mm or more. Also the focus zone being a bit longer behind the focal point than in front (as with a real camera) you may want to set the focal point just a bit in front of the subject that is to be in focus.

Thanks Gilbert and Guitta... I tried what you both said and it is working now! I just need to settle on a setting. After I changed the focal length to 80mm , it started working. Hopefully I will have a new image up soon. Thank you all again, Eryk
