A Noctilux at F1 at 1/500 second  = Nikon F5.6 (wide open zoom lens) lens 
@1/15
Second.  Take that down as much as you want, and it gets worse...
Hand holding at slow shutter speeds is HARD.  HARD and average amateur Nikon
users, in the same sentence is stupid.

That is why Nikon needs high ISO performance.....slow lenses.....

OTOH, not too many people have $11K to spend on a lens..... F1.4 is more
like it, and then the equation gives F1.4 @ 1/250 second... not so bad....

I can't imagine needing the super ISOs on some of the newest digital cameras
- like 24,000.  What is that for?  The black cat in the coal mine?
 But then maybe those other cameras don't have a lens that draws in the
light, like the Noctilux ;-)   Who needs 24,000 when you have 1.0!!
