Well, he would be, Simon. He's a pro.

If you're doing color, Fuji Press 1600 (can even be pushed on stop and
looks decent). Some people say Press 800 pushed one stop looks better than
Press 1600 straight.

Your Noctilux, of course.

Low-light and tripod is cheating. No tripods. 4-6cl of your favorite
spirit before hand-holding might be in order :)

Daniel
