I shoot a tremendous number of low light images. I always shoot with a low ISO, 64 to 100, between f/11 and f/22, and a shutter speed up to 30 seconds. I shoot manual, remote release and Mup. About 1/4th of the time I use manual focus (nothing to be afraid of). A really good tripod and good heads are important.
I'm with you. I never come off ISO 100 in low light. If the light is so low that autofocus barks, I manual focus. I have a cable release but I usually just use the 2 sec built in timer. I can go to ISO 50 but have not yet tried. Some of the dialog on 50 claims it is not better that 100 as it uses some interesting algorithm to get there.
