Chuck, thanks for reminding me about this. Noise is impressively low,
but I'm not thrilled by what appears to be a lack of resolution.
Still, given that it was shot at f/2.8, i.e., wide open, it's pretty
good.
Can we assume Simon used a tripod for his low light shots? If it was
hand-held, this tells us only about noise. Not sure a 'pod would be
allowed in that environment.
