This is a prime example of how diverse a crowd we are :-)

I most often have my LX loaded with D3200 or TMZ and shoot at ISO 3200 and it's 
frustrating that the ISO is so limited since at ISO3200 no over-exposure 
compensation is available. This is one reason that I really used to like my old 
Contax RTS II for use with fast film, it had an ISO 6400 position and two stops 
of compensation available so that I could compensate or simply add adjustment 
for when I was shooting at ISO12800 :-)

There are many many instances where tripods and long exposures just aren't 
practical:

Grain wasn't too bad either.
