Higher ISO on digital cameras takes care of this..... Or... Would you rather shoot at ISO 100,000 at 1/250 of a second or a Leica M8 or M9 at 1/4 second at ASA 1250? Capturing an image with great lenses is only valid if you can prevent camera shake...... And no matter what you say, the Noctilux is only 1 stop faster than common F1.4 lenses.... 1 stop. Not a big deal. Higher useable ISO makes up for that in a big way..... The D3s is a real threat... and those that do not believe are fooling themselves...... Remember, most of us are amateurs.... not pros... and selling photographs is only a dream//nightmare/imagination. We don't have "rules".

Would you rather have 1250 iso and crappy lenses or 160 iso and fantastic lenses? I'd rather have the fantastic fast lenses. Tina
