Less work cleaning sensor dust is the correct answer. Well done! And thanks for doing the aperture math. artie

I give up on why f/8 is better than f/22. I went back to your ABP II to read again the section on blurs but most of those were shot at small f stop, around f/29 if I remember correctly.
My best guess would be at f/8 the DOF is shallower and won’t show certain things(small items, sensor dust, etc.) in the scene that you would see at a higher f stop which you might use to achieve a slow enough shutter.
