He probably also is using zooms which usually top out at 2.8. Of course they probably are image stabilized so this could put you in the same range unless we are talking about tripods or something in the 50mm range.

First all you Noctilux folks and other fast prime lens Leica folks have not yet mentioned the fact that with a prime Nikon f1.4 28mm on my D100 or the other 1.4/1.8 primes I can match your film 400-1600 with the same quality end produce. If I'm using a digital P&S or zoom on a DSLR with a 2.8 or 4.9 of course I would be at a disadvantage. The second thing is that the instant feed back allows far more accuracy in achieving low light results in either color or B&W. The noise produced in digital reminds me of the grain in any 1600/3200 film. Happy snaps, Steven - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
