Just because we invest some extra money into a premium piece of glass which
enables us to shoot with out stopping down with all needed contrast and
resolution does not mean that to shoot a picture at f 11 we have committed
some transgression of taste and tactfulness.  When a picture requires any f
stop we used that f stop to take that picture. Any of them. I used f22 the
night before last in times square. With an 80mm f2 lens. Hand held. At dusk.
The iso by the way fell to iso 1000. It was not a Leica lens though but I'd
like to think that when I do use a Leica lens I can continue to use any f
stop the image requires.
