It was shot with the 28mm 1.4 Nikkor and I ......... STOPPED DOWN!
Two stops to f 2.8 So the full body and richness has been polluted and does
not come through of this rather effete for Nikon lens.
But I actually got a bit more in focus. Especially what I wanted to get in
focus. That purple flower. Which if I had shot it at 1.4 would not be in
focus in this particular shot. Did not put all my eggs into one  focal
plane. It's a big heavy lens. Gives you a bright easy to see image in the
ground glass. And does do every well at f 1.4.
But I've been shooting stopped down in the dead of night. As my ISO's are in
cruising speed in the 64,000 range. Giving me better than I got before
results at iso 16,000.
But that's only two stops... Seems like more if you're not used to those
numbers as I was not two months ago.
16,000
32,000
64,000

I love knowing that even if I didn't nail my focus in the groundglass I
still may have nailed it in the "print" as I stopped down a couple.
Which is how I shot most my pix from 1965 to 1995.
Stopped down a couple.
And is how I was taught and how most the people I know shot.
