New's flash, photographers need DOF for all kinds of situations. Portraitists wanting to keep eyes and ears in focus, macro photographers needing to have all of a subject rendered in sharp focus, landscape photographers wanting deep front to back focus, etc. Only a complete newbie shoots a lens at f4 for ALL situations. If you're suggesting that lenses should never be closed down past f5.6, you obviously don't have much experience with subjects that require deep DOF.

There are tons of boring posts where you can ooh and aah about how sharp the 75 1.8 is. It's nice to see it used for actual photography.
