I wouldn't mind seeing more of the shot in deep focus.
Few street shooters shoot slower films for that reason.
I'm more an f8 and be there kind of street shooter with a Leica. Unless I
was shooting some cutting edge modern lens then I'd see what it could do
wide open a bit. Here and there.
An old Summilux 50 will show you all its wonderful faults wide open.
But measured in  tens of pixels I wonder what's the point?

I love shooting from the hip knowing I' ve got a definite area in front of
me in focus. Zone focusing in other words. So I can just shoot and get it.
