It was the British motoring writer Denis Jenkinson who advised that people should drive at 60%. I suppose there are occasions when 10% might be appropriate, but not many.
I don't have any of these exotic beasts, but if I did, I'd follow Jenks' advice. I really don't see the point of f/0.95 at f/5.6—unless it's some sort of emergency. Just because you can stop down isn't a reason for doing it.
But then, I'm influenced by the very slow films of my youth (remember the original Kodachrome?) when large apertures were so necessary. I haven't changed much, even if I can tweak the ISO.
