I used to almost always use an as low f/number as possible, but after some time I have learned moderation and I think this is the kind of experience that led me there :)

Just got myself a a7iii as well. Very happy with it!

low f/number as possible

Except when shooting still product photo I never have enough light to go beyond f3.5 (and that’s already stretching it)

How do you do it ? Do you always use a flash or shoot outdoors at midday?

Your lens is unlikely to be at its sharpest at its absolute maximum aperture anyway. Especially for subjects that hold still, there's often no harm in stopping down a bit.
