It being a dark and dismal day up here, I couldn't use f8 @ 1/125th but f2.8 at 1/30th with Auto ISO 6400 gave me a half dozen perfectly exposed shots taken around the house and out the windows with the ISO varying from 500 to 6400. Fantastic! I was using my 28 Summicron with the Fuji adapter. I'm going to start using this trick for grab shots indoors and out. Outdoors f8 at 1/125th it will be.
