More so than using an f/1.4 lens at f/11 or f/16? Should I never use my f/2 lens at f/22? I don't understand. ====================================================================== I think he means that it's stupid to fit a Noctilux if you're going to stop it down all the time to f/5.6 or f/8 ... in other words, why burden yourself with something you're not going to use?
