I shot some pics at a pool hall last night. I've shot there before. The light is horrible. Rendering requires a lot of highlight reduction and shadow pumping. Last year I shot with the K-7. 3200 was really too slow, 6400 was very noise. This year I shot with the K-5 at both 6400 and 12800. Noise was very good at 6400 and acceptable at 12800. I rendered the pics on my laptop, so they're a bit crude at the moment. I'll do some touchups on the big screen later, but here's a sample of a 12,800 shot.
It's with the DA*16-50/2.8, f4, 1/80th, 12,800 ISO, 50 mm http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=12369569&size=lg -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
