Especially when if you used it you needed it. This:
http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/freakscene/bands/File0884.jpg.html was at
EI 6400 and a couple in my Africa gallery were shot in light so dim that my
M7 couldn't determine an exposure.
Back in the film days, if you wanted a photo in that sort of ight, how else
were you going to get a usable image?

I think this one:
http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/freakscene/bands/File0878.jpg.html might
have been at 12800-I had a fair idea that Joe Strummer might throw his
guitar, and it was quite dim, so I figured the fastest shutter speed I
could muster was a good plan.
All one can do is roll yer eyes sit quietly, let them go on their rant. :-)
