For me, the good old days of f11 and forget it are gone with the 4150. F11 is an image destroying aperture that I will never use again. This limits the movements of most of my lenses which isn't that big of a deal for me since I always did limit my movements. I'll probably due away with shifting horizontally since I can just crop to create a 16X9 file or just pan a little for landscape images. Rise at f9 is usable to 10mm with all of my lenses except the 35XL.
The incredible diffraction damage at f11 is easily visible when comparing the same image shot at f8 or f9. Visually, to me, the difference is staggering. In fact I can get the same type of image degradation if I shoot my Sony A7RIV at f11. It's just amazing how the Sony at f11 mimics the Phase at f11 with an image that has lost all of its micro contrast and detail. And.... that detail will never come back with any software. Those two sensors are different only in size so it's very understandable that they would have very similar characteristics.
Of course my Rody 90 can easily be shot at f8 or even f5.6 with all sorts of movements but that's just one lens out of many. The only other Rody lens that may equal the 90 is the 138. So, that's two lenses that are comfortable on the 4150 at f8 with movements. I don't own the wider Rody lenses which may or may not perform well at f8 or f9 with movements.
