Fuji prime lens aperture

p.1 #1Fuji prime lens aperture
I'm wondering what my fellow FM members set for a general aperture setting on the Fuji 23/2.8, Fuji 27/3.8 and Fuji 35/2 for daily walk-about shooting. Back in the day as a film shooter in sunshine I typically set whatever lens I was using on f8 and got good results. Now with our Fuji mirrorless cameras with access to auto ISO and easy EV adjustment our shooting style is totally different.

I have found that on these these three Fuji prime lenses a setting of f5.6 is serving me well as a general setting. From there I can either stop down or open up easily and quickly as needed.

What general setting do you use and suggest? TIA

5.6 or 8 most of the time unless I want shallower or deeper depth of field. f/5.6 if close to f/8 as far as DOF is concerned if we're talking full frame equivalence, so it makes sense that you would gravitate to f/5.6 if on film you were using f/8.

Only have the 35 f2 and usually set to f5.6.
