You mean the list has standards ? ;-)
They are rather low, but, yes I guess we do.

Yeah, the 28000 shot is extreme, especially since it is about a 50%
crop. Bit I'm okay with noisy pics as long as they're sharp. The
noise is no more pronounced than Tri-x grain at ISO 800. Printed and
viewed from a normal distance, this type shot is fine by me. But I
think you're more particular than I am. That could be a good thing.

Big improvement in noise with the second shot - 28000 vs 1500.
I would consider the one at 28000 just about unusable.
Nice lighting on the second one - nicely caught eye highlight.

Subject: More Birdies, different converters
This appears to be a finch, and I shot it with the D FA 150-450 and
the A2X S converter. Like the other pic I posted it’s f8, 1/320th
and about ISO 28,00

For this one I put on the DA 1.4 AF converter and slowed the
shutter speed down to 1/80th, I was able to get the ISO down to
about 1500. (The bird, a Junko, was also in better light.)

The much slower shutter speed works fine if the bird down’t move,
but if he takes off I’ll lose what might be a good shot.
Tons of fun in the backyard.I shot the pics sitting in a lawn chair
with the camera on a tripod. I think sitting s a plus because it
minimizes my size.
