http://home.earthlink.net/~morepix/mailbox2110s.html I accidentally shot this at 1600 ISO, and was surprised at how noise-free the results were. The full rez PEF looks surprisingly sharp and clean Tech Stuff: Pentax istDS, A50/1.4, ISO 1600, 1/160 @ f8.0 Shel ======= There's little doubt that digital high ISO is less grainy than film high ISO. I shot the jelly fish at Monterey at 1600 and was rather amazed at how little noise there was. Not to say one couldn't get a lot of noise under certain conditions, but, for me, it's nice to know that I can use high ISO when necessary and still get good results. IMHO, digital does have a few things going for it. :-) Marnie aka Doe
