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.
