George, I agree and have been taking more slow speed stuff. I've generally avoided flash and used 'available dark' when possible. My M 85mm f2 was a favorite lens for many years. It's resulted in lots of trashed slides and prints over the years. Now I'm getting more encouraging results in low light! and even my outdoor, hand held photos are sharper. It's a good change but requires some technique changes. Regards, Bob S.
