the 5d2 is _far_ more conspicous than a m8 + 35 1.4/1.2, even with a small lens on it. IF you want to discuss the real, you have to aknowledge this. Seriously.
The pentaprism sticks out, but overall size isn\'t much different and certainly not enough to stop you carrying it under a coat or putting it into a biggish coat pocket:
>When it comes to how a 35 1.4 with a 5d2 can see 3 stops further into the darkness, I wonder how you do this. the 35 1.2 has a one stop advantage, so you have to argue that you can get as good results at 12500 with the 5d2, as you can get at 640 with the m8... Good luck with that one!
A CV 35 f1.2 is only half a stop brighter than a Contax 35 f1.4, give or take. The 5D2 has about a 3.5 stop advantage at high iso, so this is how I do this: I set the M8 to 1250 iso because that\'s the limit of where I think I can hand over shots to a client without having to do excessive work on every file, and I turn the aperture dial to 1.2. On the 5D2 I set the iso to 12800 because that\'s the limit of what I can hand over to a client without having to do excessive work on every file, and I set my lens to f1.4. That\'s about three stops more gloomvision, like I said. Now you might argue that the iso ratings aren\'t correct, so I\'ll give you a stop for good will. It\'s still two more stops of gloomvision.
