That awkward moment when you realize that ISO 6400 on your new cameras looks a lot like ISO 400 on your older cameras.....


With a camera that shoots clean 6400 ISO and an 85mm 1.4 lens that's actually razor sharp when used wide open I started trying for shots I never would have bothered to attempt before. I continue to be amazed...

Panasonic S1 + Sigma 85mm Art + dim rehearsal lighting. No processing. No noise reduction shenanigans.

    My father used to say that sooner or later quantitative differences become a qualitative difference; this is what it looks like. That's 6400? That's outrageous. I'm shooting with an X-H1 and I always try to get it right in the camera; it seems we're at a new level here.

    I always had that same idea but it means that the definition of iso in the digital world is something else as in the film world.

    wow, iso = 6.400 ...I still remeber the times when it happened to say to a friend "I managed to push this film to 1.600...hmm sure there is some grain but these are 1.600 ..."

    It's real unbelievable how the idea of high iso changed ! I know, I'm old...and it's very interesting to witness all these changes...
