My fast glass works a bit better in the dark but my slower glass works
pretty good in the dark now too with digital and ISO's 1600 up.
Night shooting is a big plus for digital.
The main reason why I like using my fast glass is to isolate subjects in
narrow depth of field. But I don't like carrying all that extra weight and
high profile glass around.
VR is a big thing now.
I'm sure Leica will get around to that before the year 2525.
