When I was in St. Petersburg/Russia I shot an episode at night with my Leica M6 and Silbersalz35 500t film which is basically Kodak Vision 3 500t. The film was developed in ECN2 and scanned by Silbersalz and as always they did an amazing job.
The lens I used was a Zhongyi (a.k.a. as Mitakon) 50mm f/0.95 for Leica M-Mount. Even though it can give you great exposures at night thanks the fast aperture but also it lacks sharpness which is not super apparent in the video but when you look at the files closely it's easy to spot. On top of that the focusing wasn't aligned when I first got the lens in and also the second copy of the lens had the same issue, so I had to do the adjusting myself. I've made a video about the whole experience and if you haven't seen it you can check it out for more information about the issues I had.
See you soon in the next one!
