<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 2120655, member: 1765"]Yes, I use f8-ish for most of my shots. Where the faster f2.8 lens comes in handy is when focusing. Twice the light comes through the viewfinder as compared to the f4 lens when focusing. When shooting the picture, f8 is the same for either. Since you have control over how much light you supply to the scene, the f4 lens and bulbs sufficient for a 1/40 sec. exposure at f8 with ISO set to 100 will be fine.</p><p> </p><p>In some cases, the optical quality of two very similar lenses will determine which one you want. Since both the 105/4 and 105/2.8 Micro-Nikkors are super sharp lenses, that doesn't come into play when choosing between them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
