The need for noise reduction is nature's way of telling you to slow down to Velvia ;-) Cheers Analog Hoppy -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Scott McLoughlin Sent: Monday, 11 September 2006 15:58 To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Re: Leica] M8 lens dilemma I shot my D70 almost exclusively at ISO 200. I'm happy that the D200 supports ISO 100. Maybe it's a mild OCD or something, but when I apply noise reduction and look at the image at 100% and see precious detail melt or blur away, it always ticks me off :-) I see examples on the web or wherever concerning reducing noise in blue skies, and I always shout to myself, "that's easy and NOT really representative of the pros/cons of noise reduction."
