Nor in most cases any actual experience with what he is talking about. Which is
sad because when he does talk about something he actually knows he provides good
and useful information. However not knowing whether he is talking unfounded
theory or practical experience means the people who could most use his advice
can not trust anything he says.
SAD!

If you read what Bob said, and what I said earlier: there is no "faster
shutter speed" on some cameras. The Leica is limited to 1/1000
second, and
numerous Leica shooters prefer not to go there, many of the older Pentax
bodies are limited in the same or similar manner. The fastest shutter
speed on any of my cameras is 1/2000 second. TMAX 400 (your chosen film
for this discussion) gives 1/2000 @ F8.0 or so in bright sunlight.
F8.0 is
not always the ideal aperture. Wider apertures are often preferred by
many
photographers for artistic and creative reasons.
I am pretty sure that artistic merit flies right past JC's head.
Every discussion I have seen him involved in devolves to pure technical
detail.
Artistic or creative merits have never, in my memory, been part of any
of his postings.
