Wait! You're worried about noise and you're shooting Fuji 800 pushed a
stop? There's something here that doesn't quite compute.:-)

All the more reason to have fast primes in front of a digital back I
say!  Short shutter speeds = less noise.  Give me a full-frame sensor
but make mine with very large pixels so I can shoot in low light, in a
Canon body for $600.  I'll wait, thank you.  Until then, it's Fuji 800
pushed one stop and a MiJ on a tripod-mounted OM.
