Seriously, thus far I have done little 'coal mine at midnight shooting, but I've been surprised by how well it's done in pretty low light.

I won't be getting the X-Pro1, but if my eyes continue its trajectory, I may have to get an X-Pro-2 or X-Pro-3. Or may be an E-M7... I need very clean ISO3200.... On Tue, Jun 12, 2012 at 1:58 PM, B.
