So, in your experience, this lens is (just about) best wide open? If I'm walking around Reykjavik, for instance, taking pictures of people and houses, I don't have to stop down to F5.6 to F8?

Nope - you`ll gain very little - to be honest as the long end is F5.6 anyway I`d set the lens to F4.5 and it`ll be pretty superb all the way through , it`s not a perfect lens of course but it`d take one of the two F2.8 Oly/Pan zooms to beat it .

Thank you ...
