That's a personal stylistic choice, there are many feature films - if not most - which are shot with the aperture stopped down from T2. Using a zoom, a T3/T4 split is pretty common on interiors and I know one DP who always used T5.6 with fast stock. Deep focus is also a stylistic choice.
Some DPs are using 2/3" HD cameras for greenscreen heavy films because of the greater DOF.
