Walt -  There are times when only the Noctilux will get the 
photo.  I've been in many situations when, even using TMax 3200, and 
shooting with the Noctilux at 1.0, I had to brace against something 
or use a monopod to get the photo in the dark.  Here are some:

All made with the Noctilux and I couldn't have gotten them at 1.4.
