As Brian shoot weddings I'm surprised he has not realized how this can be used to his advantage. It's very helpful to be able to shoot available light at f2.8 - f4 with the slightly increased DOF (about one stop). I shoot f4 all the time and having that little DOF insurance is great for wedding work. You get the advantage of the faster shutter speed AND the added DOF. A great combo in my opinion...
