W/NW: Low Light

This cheating a bit as its shot with a DSLR - the Nikon D700 plus a 16-35mm f4 VR lens, not a rangefinder. Apart from that however the image is pretty much straight from the camera with just basic processing (not even much need for noise reduction) and shows the high quality that a modern FX camera and appropriate lens can achieve. You certainly don't get much lower light than this without the image being pitch black!!!

Incidentally it was hand held at around 1/10th of a second. The latest VR techology certainly works well - something traditionalists must hate. As for me I do not mind so long as it works.
