Shooting in low light with M8 advice requested........

My suggestion would be to look at your technique as well as making the most of a difficult situation. When I shoot medium format film for documentary work, I had ISO 400 film and a maximum aperture of f/3.5. I did a lot of good work in appalling light with that. Freezing action does not always result in the most interesting images.

Of course, you could buy something...

Buying something isnt an option atthe moment, unless I sell some stuff, but here are 2 shots I took at ISO 2500 to see how they turned out, and this is also using a slower lens, the Leitz Canada 135/2.8

One is B+W to eliminate the background colours, the other is colour, but desaturated about 20% for the nice retro tone






what do you think?
