iso invariance

Yet another article where the math/information theory doesn't line up with their conclusions. Yes, ISO invariance works, but no, you will not get the same information out if your information density is different. I.e. if all I did was change the ISO but kept the same setting otherwise, the lower

Last night after Neowise sank into the haze I spent some time playing with astrolandscapes on Mary's Peak (west of Corvallis). I did an experiment with the sigma 35/1.4 on the K-3ii aimed at an interesting part of the milky way, astrotracer at 10 seconds, f/1.4, slow shutter NR (darkfield

that what real world iso invariance means to me is that I have a lot more latitude to under expose by dialing the ISO down, so as not to blow out highlights, and similarly I don't have to worry about shooting at a higher ISO, within a reasonable range. I don't think it means I can go around

Did you see the updated image. I think that 4 or 5 stops will show some amount of banding, but not enough to make much of a difference. Its when you have maybe 7-10 stops where you should notice a massive difference. If the whole theory that is being bandied about were true, i.e that the
