It is interesting how varied we are. I have been
taking pictures for over 40 years now and have never
even tried a film faster than 400asa, and I did that
when I started as a teenager, and repeated from time
to time to see what the fuss is about. I usually use
Kodachrome 64, hence my need for a Leica as I am using
wide apertures most of the time here in England. The
only time I needed faster was in a crypt where the
Kings of the Navarre are buried, there I used 800asa
on my Canon D30 and got results way better than I
would have had on film, it was a decisive moment for
me. 
I can't imagine using >800asa as a matter of course!
