Even journalist are using flash(war zones excepted). Because I use the 50 more than any other focal length the transition to the 35 Summilux will not be a problem except in the wallet. But for folks like you that eat up the 28 F2 the lack of fast wides will keep you away possibly. Which is why I posted the problem about fast wides for a 1.3X sensor. With all that said, I suspect that the usefulness of 3200 will be there whether as a RAW conversion or just bootleg 1600 underexposed and just deal with it. Photographically, we live in very interesting times. Don don.dory@gmail.com On 9/10/06, B. D.
