Easy to obtain higher ISOs: set the highest and underexpose by the number of stops required. Boost in processing. I was never interested in any of the E-xxx bodies because of the viewfinders, but the E-1, E-3 and E-5 are superb. Even the ancient E-1 with it's old, slow hardware now produces superb results at ISO 3200 and even ISO 6400 if you know what you're doing when you expose and process the raw files. The E-5 produces very clean results at ISO 6400 almost without any processing at all. Overall, though, this obsession with ultra high ISO settings and the desire for noiseless results is, to me, utter and complete nonsense. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
