I haven't seen too much of your work, Joe, that looked like you really needed ISO 1600. What did you do when you only had a film camera?
G ----- There are a few high ISO shots here: http://www.fotocommunity.com/pc/pc/mypics/535671 After unsatisfactory experiences early on, I try not to shoot my D at higher than 800. ISO 1600 would have made some of these shots easier, or I could have used a smaller aperture. Low light shots are why I worry so much about how lenses perform wide open. I often seem to wind up shooting at ISO 800, 1/30 (or even less), wide open (or close to it). I think there are also some in the PUG archives, but I'm not going to search them out. When in Europe I used to carry two PZ-1p bodies. One usually had Provia 100F, the other usually had something at either 400 or 800 -- 800 if I knew I would be shooting indoors. Whenever I get the opportunity I like to shoot inside cathedrals and other buildings. Often tripods aren't possible or allowed in such places, which is one of the reasons why I have been looking forward to shake reduction. One of the nice things about my DSLR has been getting away from having to carry two bodies. If the K10D will perform at ISO 800 I will be satisfied. And if my concerns about the camera are unfounded, I'll be happy to be wrong. Joe -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
