"zackiedawg" said:Nice...no, actually unbelievable! ; My eyes can barely detect that scene, let alone a camera lens - even at F1.4...that high ISO ability is just plain insane, especially considering how far it's come since the film days (anyone want to give ISO25,600 film a try for noise results?).
"Jeff Fillmore" said:Your ISO 25600 shots look nice- I tried that a few times when I first got the D700 and was frustrated with the noise so I usually limit it now to 12,800. ; Based on these I may need to experiment some more with it though.
"Roger" said:I hear you on that. ; But this trip I actually stayed on Auto-ISO (and I let the camera AF!, I have a dark rides setting which pushes AF-S to release priority, and I moved AF to only the AF-ON button) the entire time, and I think I was metering either evaluative or center-weighted in the Mansion rather than using M mode like I used to. ; It seems that so long as you get a semi-proper exposure, that ISO isn't half-bad. ; A little under exposed and the noise will show. ; I tried boosting shadows in A2 on this image, and yes, the noise became exponentially worse. ;
And the 85/1.8 isn't half bad either.

Fantastic! ; Amazing that you don't have more noise with that high of an ISO setting.
