And that would be the supreme instance of an M8 blowing your film shooting
camera right out of the water.
Put a Noctilux on it even, your film shooting M; a digital camera with a
slow cheap zoom will shoot ultra low light rings around it.

There's bound to be examples of film M's having advantages over digital M's
for specific applications. Low light would be the supreme opposite.
If one was an ultra low light black cat in the coal mine in midnight
specialist forget film.

But I'm interested in seeing ultra low light digital results with the
Noctilux.
