For the first time I worked out how to get postwork depth-of-field and simple postwork Z-depth based fog working correctly together. It was one of those facepalm moments! Use the Zmap render to apply focus blur to the original render, and then use it to apply exactly the same focus blur to itself. Then use the blurred Zmap as a mask for the fog. That's the way to prevent sharp fog outlines around blurred distant objects. But you can see a sort of halo around the motorbike handlebars...

3rd image is the render after applying focus blur

4th image is a comparison of using the raw/blurred zmap as a mask fo the postwork fog layer « Less
