I am a long-tom Noctilux user, but after using these cameras for a while, I must admit that I now reach for the DSLRs for shooting low light. It has to be said, though, that the Noctilux still produces a look you cannot get anywhere else. Now, I know someone will say that you can't tell much from a 640px long jpg, but here are some snaps: Ali in his tent near Mhamid, Maroc.
