There's only two apertures needed f1.2 and f8

my 50 is rarely off 1.2.. feels like a sin having on anything else

Good luck to those who want f4 and smaller aperture lenses...

Thank you!

I shot my Voigtlander 40/1.2 at f/11 today!

I couldn't find any of my 58mm ND filters....

I used my 50 f1.2 all the way between 1.2 and 16 on today's walk, though 16 isn't quite enough for sunstars.

Thank you!

My take on this is that, coming most recently from m4/3, f4 produces a very shallow depth of field, for my uses anyway. But it can’t be denied that wide apertures are better in low-light situations. Conversely modern sensors handle low light much better than the olden days. Each to their own, there’s no right or wrong. Even though some people think there is.

There is certainly no right or wrong. Most of it is said in jest when talking about stopping down
