The diffraction limits are only based on focal ratio... not focal 
length.  The particular lens attached makes no difference.  But I like 
your idea.  At a certain focal ratio it would make more sense to 
decrease the ISO or increase the shutter speed if possible rather than 
closing down the lens.
