[Leica] B. D. PAWS with a $699 DSLR

[leica at robsteve.com (Robert Stevens)]

It might just be that your subjects are moving, but the people on the 
edge are still.  Such as the little girl and the mother, or the young 
couple on the train.  This one BTW is the best of the seires I looked 
at.  The mother and the lady in the background really adds to it.

I would just bump the ISO up to 800 and deal with the noise.  Have 
you tried shooting RAW and in the RAW conversion select B&W or -100 
saturation in the RAW converter.  I have noticed this doesn't 
transfer the color noise like when you open it in PhotoShop and use 
channel mixer to create a B&W.
