Using apertures 1.4 and 2 with iso 800 gives good results for this type of photography. As you may expect it does not compete with the Leica M 50 1.4 ASPH for sharpness but for social photography and portraits of ladies and children you can have too much sharpness. While chunky for a standard lens the combination with the D80 is fairly compact. I purposedly went for the combination as a digital companion to a Leica with a standard lens; trying the combination in the shop confirmed that the physical feel was acceptable. I can note as an aside I used this set up at my daughter's Christmas meal as a backup to my M7 + Summilux; fortunately I had charged the D80 battery as I had left my M7 switched on and the battieres were flat!
