But now you have to throw in the noise issue.... If the Canon is 1 stop slower, but the noise is really vastly less, then is that extra 1 stop advantage of the Leica real or is has it reached the stage where it is useful only in the most desperate of situations? Is the Canon 1 stop slower really a disadvantageis that 99.99999999 % of images? Of course, that is the purpose of the Noctilux, the other 0.00000001% of the time..... .... I think the football analogy is a Hail Mary...... Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net In the digital space that's needing to push the camera's ISO sensitivity one stop higher, Frank and we can look at M8 images and see just how valuable that one stop is - it's HUGE when moving to the camera's highest sensitivity. So don't be so quick to dis a one-stop difference out in the digital world. Adam
