Yes, with a 2-13 also, albeit not often. But it depends on how you define
"very low light," usually with night photos and zoomed out at 105mm
(f/4.5). Sometimes by adjusting the viewfinder around I can find a "sweet
spot" that illuminates both halves. At that point it's easier to focus
using the micro-prism ring.
