If it was me I'd have stopped down at least to 5.6 if not 8 if I really wanted to nap my focus. Unless the background was dog ugly. And why are we shooting a picture with a bad background? This wide open shooting thing gets played up on the LUG and it has its place but that place is limited. When you need to in low light. And really ugly backgrounds. I really hate it when I miss my focus. So I stop down when ever I can. As I was saying to Jim this morning are you using needlessly slow film? Because nobody does street photography or much hand held location work with slow film. This is a LUG phenomenon. If you want to get a shot use fast film so you can both stop down and secondly use a shutter speed fast enough so we all don't have to hold still and not breath like its the dawning of the daguerreotype age.
