And this is exactly what Silvestri (Italy) does with their 4x5" wide

I even took great nightlife shots at the Expo in Lissabon, at 1/2s,
by simply pressing the camera against whatever object that was

failed to find something (the 'crowded' street architecture on the
Expo did help a lot). And 100 ASA was all I needed.
