around when I felt I wanted to cover such

need just one. What Ted said is very true - it's
ultimately more satisfying to combat very low light
with film, and low light performance is the key reason
I've historically used rangefinders, and thus Leicas -
but it's just so much easier with digital. It's almost
like magic.
