I have posted seven images all shot at ISO 200 or 400 (to be compared with other shot at ISO 1600). The noise, as expected, is generally lower but there appears to be horizontal banding in areas of constant gray density (i.e., skies). This seems to be more pronounced at ISO 200 then at ISO 400 but either way is not good. I used Photoshop to minimize this banding as best I could but it's not always easy to do. Next, I will do a series at ISO 800 (always +1 1/3 IE) to see what kind of results I get.
