Recently someone posted asking why we need fast lenses for daylight.

Yesterday I went shooting around Oxford Street in London. Typical, not too
dull, grey day, with Tri-x @ 320.

Well, I found myself shooting mostly at 1/60 @ 5.6, sometimes all the way
down to 1/30 @ f4....those tall buildings and doorways just suck up the
light. So much for cloudy f8, huh?
