Hi B.D.,
yep all you have to shoot are night street scenes, I don't mean black cat 
alley's. But busy metropolitan streets like downtown Honolulu or any other 
brightly lit street and there's all kinds of detail in digital that isn't 
there when shooting film at equal ASA settings.

As many of you know I just say...." if you can see it, show no fear, shoot 
it!" And no question I'm finding more and more with the LEICANON.... 20D, 
adapter and Leica lenses one can truly shoot in deep available darkness and 
have detail where film will fail.

Or some part of the film will be detailess or blown right out!
