It's unbelievable to me that you can even get an image at that speed!! I usually used TMax 400 pushed to 800 and could take photos with my Leica lenses in firelight and candlelight. I don't think I'll be using 2500 except as an experiment as in these photos. Later I'll put up a comparison of 640, 1250, and 2500 - actual size - of the same subject. I'm more than happy with the high ISO performance of the M8 and that's where I feared I would be disappointed. I think I'll be very happy with what I get at 640 and with Leica's fast lenses that should be enough. Tina Tina Manley, ASMP, NPPA http://www.tinamanley.com
