What's wrong with shooting at f5.6 on a crop if your subject is far away enough for the whole frame to be in focus?
Someone took great insult in an image being shot at f5.6 instead of f9 because "shutter speed too high could have stopped down moar!". Is there some unwritten rule you should always aim to get a shutter speed below 500 or whatever?

shutter speed should be 1/(2xfl) as a rule of thumb (ie a 50mm or equivalent lens should be at 1/100 or faster) for shooting handheld without IBIS

with ibis you can drop down to 1/fl, or maybe half fl.

of course if your shot has motion in it, then this rule of thumb may or may not apply. 1/200 or faster is recommended for shots of people, for example.

aperture should almost always be a creative choice, but may need to be balanced against iso and ss, it's usually much better to turn a background into bokeh, then raise the iso so noise is visible. subject isolarion is good for nearly every shot you take, noise is bad for every shot you take.

Why is this? What can I possibly do when it's bright as fuck outside and I'm already at f8? Why would it be bad to have a shutter speed of 1/1000?

no issue with shutter speed that high but f5 is kind of fast if youre shooting landscape or a wide scene. lenses are often sharpest at f8-f11

never said it was bad to have a fast shutter speed, just that you should be wary of your minimum ss.

only time fast ss may be an issue is with leaf shutters, like on fujis x100 point and shoot cameras.

modern lenses tend to be sharpest around f4 or even faster.

>shutter speed too high
What the fuck was that even supposed to mean? How can the shutter speed be too high (unless you want it slow for motion blur)?
Obviously you want a high shutter speed so everything is nice and sharp.

No idea that's why I'm asking. Seemingly a big mistake was made by shooting at 1/1250 instead of 1/200.

All the lens reviews I watch put f5.6 to f7 as the sharpest point. But this is on a crop (Fujifilm) mind you.

The only problem I can see with that is that some cameras will switch to an electronic shutter which could introduce distortion to moving objects (rolling shutter)
But I think this is only really an issue if you use the electronic shutter for silent shooting at slower speeds.
In the end, I believe that particular anon was brain dead.

Yeah I think he was being pendantic probably because he didn't like the camera brand. As for electronic shutter: I obviously make sure that doesn't happen until it's needed. But mechanical shutters go up 1/8000.

No
Here's the Fuji 35 1.4 topping out at f4
I checked about a dozen Fuji lenses, they were all sharpest at f4 except the 27mm f2.8, which was sharpest at f5.6

Why lie about something so easily provable?

Dude calm down, I shoot Fujifilm myself and in the reviews I watch f5.6 is often mentioned as sharpest overal. Why would I want to lie?

It’s not, it’ll be f/5.6 to f/8 on APSC. It’s reflected in tests. But you can pixel peep center and corner pm your own lens and decide what you want to shoot at. I also found shooting directly at infinite focus at the center of DoF on my lens is sharper than focussing slightly closer but having infinite within DoF (to increase overall DoF for landscape).

If you’re shooting a subject you want to stop down for, for infinite focus and wide DoF, f/8 on your own chart is the sharpest. As mid frame to border is noticeably sharper on that chart than f/4

f/4 has the best center sharpness but not the best overall sharpness. That article even says as much.
>The peak performance is reached around f/5.6

what about when the camera switches from mechanical shutter to electronic? does that make a difference?

People on /p/ will find any and every nit to pick because they don't know how to give any real constructive criticism of a photo. I wouldn't bother devoting much brainpower to it if I were you.

if the settings got you the shot, they were fine

while some guys on the internet may make you feel otherwise, try not to get too hung up on this autistic stuff, it doesn't really matter much in the end

disregard critique based solely on exif
if you had motion blur when there should be none or a perfect still when there should be motion blur that's a valid critique, but if the end result is good and coherent with the intent then nitpicking on the numbers is retarded.

Depends on how good you are.
If you have steady hands, you can shoot 1/fl on a crop perfectly fine and 1/(0,25*fl) with image stabilisation.
At 1/(0,5*fl) without image stabilisation I'm in the danger zone where some images can be good, but there is a good chance they are trash.
If I need to go there, I shoot bursts.

My record was 1,5 seconds 50 mm on FF handheld.
Had 200 ISO film loaded and it was too dark.

That's only a problem if you end up shooting at a higher ISO than you could have. It's pure exif horror when some anons posts a noisy ass photo shot at 1/4000 and 6000 ISO
