...Cool Dave dropped me a line to join him on the Toronto Burlesque Festival this past friday, and what a show it was! In a sea of DSLRs, we went with our RFs. A great venue to try bright, fast lenses!
Here are a couple of shots from the show. The one titled host-ess was shot at ISO 800 with Dave's salivation-indusing 75LUX at 1.4 which he was kind enough to let me try on the RD1 (geez Dave, what a lens!). The ones titled bald man were at ISO 1600, with the CV ultron 28 @ 1.9. I have included 100% crop of the ISO1600 for closer inspection (could only upload 3 shots, it seems
.
I must say...I dropped the RD1 just before we started shooting, and even though the overall RF remained fairly good, its a little off at close inspection. The vertical needs adjustment, which made focusing a tad tricky. Enough blaming the tool...the rest of the softness was due to the consumption of Jack Daniels, beer and various shots, he he.

At f1.4 in low light they would really have to hold still get a focused shot.

I was gonna say...you went to a burlesque festival and your first photo posted is of a bald-headed man?
Oh well...I guess I did say it.

better, but... I guess burlesque has come a long way when a guy in tighty whites (or yellows) holding up a giant orange slice is considered burlesque

Tricks with fruit are kind of cute -- as Mick Jagger sang.
