Has anyone seen an f/1.4 lens beat an f/4 lens at f/2?
That's an old chestnut - they all would.
The even older chestnut is that f/8 in the centre is where even less
than stellar lenses are usually very good.
Oh, and that many people don't want to use only f/8 and the centre on a
D800.
(How do you stop UP an f4 lens?)
I don't know what you'd do it, *I*'d use a focal reducer.

With the only focal reducer I've seen it would still have been an f4.
