Christer, I have, One time in December at a Christmas marked in the Night. (Night started after about 5pm.) It worked like a charm. I took some pictures with a 1 sec time. Nearly all came out useful. I suppose an enlargement of 10" X 15" would have shown some shake, but for smaller size prints they seemed ok. I always carry a tabletop tripod with me. It is not a Leitz (even so I have a couple), but a Minolta, which I find far superior and a lot less expensive, than the Leitz table top tripod. Regards, Horst Schmidt.
