It's far less dark than most I have seen because a restauration is going on. In the most "sunny" places, I took some pictures at f/2, 1/15 to 1/4 s with a 400 ISO film. I would not be able to take any picture with an f/4 lens. Of course, the use of a tripod is not recommended (and often prohibited) and so is the use of a flash. If I were you, I would consider a Summilux for that type of shots. All the best. --- Jean-Claude Berger (jcberger@jcberger.com) Systems and RDBMS consultant (MCSE), Lyon, France http://www.jcberger.com > We're going to France this > fall, and I don't want to be loaded down with a vest full > of lenses > if it isn't necessary.
