Most lenses like f8. No lens is at its best wide open or stopped down all the way. When you get near f16 and f22 you start to have and see diffraction. Of course f16 is better than f22 but f8 seems to be near the sweet spot. Not too open and not too stopped.

I have not been able to get into my PM on here regularly. I live in a remote area and wifi is sketchy.
