The purchase of the Leica M9 came in the middle of this, and I was a little concerned about shooting at low light levels so I used it on my latest shoot on Monday. These two guys were ?sanctioned? for separately missing appointments with the benefits office. There are no excuses for this, illness etc. doesn?t count. There sanction was absolutely no state aid for 6 weeks, so they were at the food bank for free food, which they can only receive for 3 weeks a year because there is insufficient food to meet demand. I think the camera and LR coped very well in a basement room with normal levels of lighting and no natural light at all. BTW, the lens was a 35mm Summarit f2.5 http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gwpics/LAE-1000050.jpg.html Comments are welcome, but I do not want to get into any political discussions etc. I am just there to record what I see.
