Used to really enjoy your rhetoric about eight years ago, then burned out on too much darkroom time, put my M6 away, and quit photography. Just about a month ago, resumed, bought an M9. 2. Took a bunch of pics at ISO 2000 in badly lit back room of a museum, photographing a repair operation on Babbage Difference Engine #2 Serial #2--that's a story in itself. I did get the comment that they were grainy. Discovered that Noise Ninja got rid of that grain very very nicely.
