With a 2D blur? In POV? Why?
A gaussian convolution blur won't be a very good approximation in the 
first place, and I'm really wondering why you would want to do it in 
POV, which although not designed for light simulation, has features that 
would allow much better approximations to be done...such as actually 
simulating the light traveling through the lens.
