Here is another one, this was taken about 10 years ago, a friend during a midnight walk on Halloween. Can't recall exact details but was likely HP5+ pushed to ISO 1600, 1/30 sec (edit maybe 1/15 sec), 55mm, f1.2. Was very dark, we were on the sidewalk and the only light was a porch light on a nearby house. My friend's DSLR (a Nikon something) wouldn't function at all, not enough light, the AF just hunted constantly. I was using a Nikon F.



I'm not showing these pictures to imply that all I ever shoot is low light stuff. But that is the situation where I have the hardest time with my film cameras and where I need my future $3000 digital camera to really work and work really well. Taking pictures of stuff in the daylight, landscapes, etc - I don't feel that those situations are going to stress any good digital camera.
