Location United Kingdom Tyne and Wear Hebburn | well, i have always had a soft spot for f5.6. i hate all those in between not really f-stops at all like f7.1. they are pants. i like f5.6. f4 is too shallow, f8 is too deep, but f5.6 is just right. |

Is this one of those trick questions that we then get hit with a funny 'punch line' with.? Nick |

Location United Kingdom Surrey Carshalton | In the days of film I liked using F8. I know it's sloppy work, but it covered me when my focussing was slightly out. These days I can't work out how to use my DSLR on manual outdoors, so I just leave it on Program and only God knows what aperture I get. In the studio I use F11- the flashes are powerful enough and I need the depth of field...  |

 Location United Kingdom Birmingham | depends what im looking for. most my work is studio.. if i want a bit of DOF i'll use f/5.6 if i want tack sharp, then f8. for live gig work, wide open usually, f1.8 or f2.2. I guess i try to use the right aperture for the right job. |
