And it does make a big difference when you do as Doug suggested to handle the problem of noise in high ISOs of the Leica digitals. Underexpose by a stop or two or three and use lower ISOs. You still get the great resolution of the Leica lenses without the high noise, you can adjust the exposure in any of the converting software, and you avoid one of the problems of digital exposures - blown out highlights. This is my standard method of taking photos in low light with the M8 now. This is just what I have found doing my own tests with my own cameras for my own purposes. Your mileage may vary.
