IMHO, it truly improves the pictures you sent some days ago. Cheers, Marc -----Mensaje original----- De: lug-bounces+foto=marcdufour.net at leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+foto=marcdufour.net at leica-users.org] En nombre de Jim Nichols Enviado el: martes, 01 de mayo de 2012 20:38 Para: LUG at Leica-Users.org CC: Olympus Camera Discussion Asunto: [Leica] IMG: Exploring Higher ISO Values With the 2X Extender on the Leica Telyt 250/4, shutter speed, and DOF suffer. I decided to explore some higher ISO values with the E-510. Most of my work to date with this combination was at ISO 400. Towhees are normally ground feeders, but once or twice a year I will spot one on a feeder. Here the Towhee Male is captured at ISO 800, 1/160 at f/4: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Towhee+Male+ISO+800.jpg.html A Cardinal Female served as my subject at ISO 1600, 1/60 at f/8: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Cardinal+Female+ISO+1600.jpg.html To my eye, 800 is quite useable, as is 1600, though with a bit more noise. I must admit, though, that the higher ISO values of modern sensors would be appreciated for this work. Comments and critiques welcomed.
