With color I simply use ISO 400 and sometimes ISO William Albert Allard built a career at National Geographic on Kodachrome and fast lenses.

But 1.4 lenses offer us more possibilities. Depends on what we want and how we go about it. I'll wager the new 24mm M ASPH is going to help redefine avialable light photogrpahy. =========== Eric Welch Grants Pass, OR Pi R Squared? No Pi R round, Cornbread R Square!
