Show us how steady you are 
I think 800 iso is the sweet spot for low light with the R-D1. Therefore I like to keep it there and go the lower shutter speed when necessary.
How low can you go and still be sharp?
To start the ball rolling.
800 iso - 1/8 sec at F2.8 (from memory) Nokton 40
Cheers,
John

Great shot John, looks very sharp for 1/8th! also the quality is very good
my lower limit seems to be 1/8th too (with my 40 or 28 lens).. thou sometimes I can go as low as 1/4th and still get a usable image:

Try out a TLR like the Yashica Mat / Rolleiflex, if you're lucky you can find one for 0-100$ in good condition. I bought my Yashica Mat for about $80 and it works like a clock. The Pentacon Six TL are nice too with Carl Zeiss Jena lenses, the 80/2.8 Biometar is superb. Good luck with the MF!

Great shot Don. The blur of moving people gives it life. Thanks.

Don't see why this thread should be specific to the R-D1.
With an M Leica or a 35 mm SLR, I have usually been safe down to 1/4 sec. with normal and wide lenses. Couldn't manage it, though, with the IIIc I had, and cannot manage it (yet) with my digital SLR.

I read your headline a little differently...
When I was on vacation last month I visited an air museum on Phoenix, AZ, where there was a toy plane setting among the much larger "real things."
This was a peddle plane designed for a six or seven year-old measuring about three feet from front to back.
So I put my camera on the floor and took the picture.

Bill,
That's what I thought too...but then saw the pictures and captions and had to rethink this thread...
With a RF I think I got as low as 1/15...the same with a Yashicamat 124g...

1 or 1/2 second. R-D1s + Jupiter-3 50mm @f/1,5. Camera set on BW mode at ISO 1600). Hand held, not too sharp because the subjects didn't hold still

This photo has 'life'! And life doesn't stand still... Great capture.
