Hi Chris,

Nope, rarely use it under these conditions (f.1.0 at high noon) If one
needed to a couple of things can be done to make it so.

1/  slow film.

2/ neutral density filters.

But rarely is the lens used during this kind of light condition simply
because I never think of using it at the time of day and I'm sure most
others do the same.
