If so and it's as great as the M7, set it for 3200, compose so you don't have major lights dead centre image and when the red lights, arrow heads, shutter speed lights-up, whatever come on, "click!" Rely on the gear, have faith in it,after all it is a Leica and works like a dream. Two things may happen you'll have a bunch of really neat negatives or you'll have a bunch screwed-up.;-) I can't think of anything one could advise you on regarding what shutter speeds other than hand holding at 1/8th might be the slowest I'd try if you're not a regular shooter at slow speed. At night on the street other than not having big bright street lights near the centre of the metering area. And watch for light reflections off the street paving as it makes good double use of the light and keeps the overall look open. If you're working off tripod? Then just squeeze down on the shutter release and let the camera pick whatever speed it wants I relation to the aperture you wish to work with. I hope this is of some help. ted.
