Subject: [Leica] The most boring photo I will post all year, I promise...

People have asked about the viewfinder on the Olympus E410 and its  
performance at higher ISO settings. Here is a picture taken at ISO  
400 with the Leica 100mm Apo Macro Elmarit at f2.8. It shows that the  
performance in terms of grain and noise is entirely acceptable, I  
would say comparable to my Canon at ISO 800 (and similarly, when I  
look at some nighttime images I shot with the Oly at 800, they are  
comparable to the Canon at 1600, i.e. highly usable).

It also shows that the viewfinder is certainly good enough to focus  
the 100mm macro lens manually (several other shots of a similarly  
boring nature were also correctly focused).
