If the lens opens up to 1.8, I would rarely shoot below 2.8. The lens will be much sharper over all From 2.8 to 8. You loose a lot shooting wide open on any lens.

Sure that inch or two will come in crisp as hell, but nothing else will.

Not necessarily, Matt. I’ve shot at 1.8 before. It all depends on what you’re shooting. 85 @ 1.8 can be crisp if you’re shooting with it properly.

“For example, an image that requires a 1/20th of a second shutter speed at f/2.8 will only require 1/60th of a second at f/1.8, forming a distinction between a sharp image and a blurry one.”

and yet the depth of field would make it unusable.
