@evikne this is your signature: "Aperture is only for depth of field, not light control" – Peter Karbe

Way to go, interesting sentence... How do you interpretate? Use the FLE wide open 😆  

My interpretation is that "in the old days" we needed fast lenses to be able to shoot in dim light, and we stopped them down for better image quality. But with today's high ISO capability and wide open performance the only remaining thing we need aperture for, is to control depth of field.

Or put another way: Today we make fast lenses just for fun (to be able to play with shallow depth of field)! 😉

It totally makes sense

Just for fun? For me a fast lens is to separate the essential from the unessential. It`s the natural way of seeing.  In the moment, when my eyes focus on a subject,  I don`t realize anything around the subject, it is blurred. A fast lens does the same. But of course a fast lens can also be lots of fun, it can produce dreamy, impressionistic or even abstract results.

I just edited my post while you were quoting me (added the text in parentheses). But I completely agree with you: Shooting with large apertures also separates the essential from the unessential and draws the viewer's attention in the same direction as I did.
