Or an F1.4 lens ( or 2 or maybe 3!..... Or a Nocti)............ It begs the question... do you really HAVE TO take that shot? Is that type of photography something you could live without? Hey, I am a film user. But I am not anti Digital. It is a matter of preference, cash flow, and what type of images you want to shoot. Everyone ( yes, an overstatement) thinks Digital is the only way to go.... It isn't. I like to remind folk that analog film has its place, for a lot of people, for a lot of reasons. Digital has it's place and advantages too. The user must evaluate his needs first, and his wants next to arrive at a good solution. ( then check with his better half......)
