[Leica] (Was: some tests at 128, 000 asa) Now: from the bottom of the scale

Actually, as I figure it, Kyle's images were taken at ISO 25,600 (two  
settings beyond 6400, the camera's highest numerated setting).

To give equal time to the darkness-challenged, here are a few I took  
today in rare NW Ohio bright sunshine with my "Leica" D700 (if it had  
been wearing Solms glass it would've been a Leicon) at one stop  
*below* ISO 200, the camera's lowest numerated setting?equivalent to  
ISO 100?for astronauts on the surface of the Moon, perhaps, or at any  
rate 256 times slower than Kyle's. (Full disclosure: some of the  
images are at ISO 200.)

Side Cut Park, along the Maumee River (largest of the Great Lakes  
tributaries) is part of the Toledo-Lucas County Metropark system. It's  
named for the "side cut" extension of the Miami-Erie Canal connecting  
the main canal with the city of Maumee. Three of the original six  
locks are preserved in the park and shown in my photos.
