Leica doesn't have a lock on low light, but when photojournalists specialize in documentary photography, and want to shoot a lot of low light, you'd be surprised how many choose the M6. I am continually amazed that the people I run into that say they use the M6 for that. So, who can compete, in terms of ease of use, reliability and focusing accuracy in low light? I don't think there is a camera out there, not even the R8. (That is, taking into consideration the lenses). And there are several R lenses that are the best available as well. But that is not to denigrate other camera makers. Let's be clear. We're talking degrees of difference, no? - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Rehab is for quitters.
