I prefer fast glass to use on my Leica (or gasp, even the lowly E-3) than a big hunking Canikon so I don't miss over 1600 too much. High ISO shots have a charm of their own, but just like plastic cam shots, long exposure shots, or pano shots etc., they are "off the norm" so not appreciated by everyone. I particularly like the first shot because you capture the essence in the eyes - they can be cat's, dog's, or human's, but nice capture to me because of that.
