Mamiya DM22 vs DM33 on ISO 400, your experience please ?

[jozhou]

Hello,
I just got a used kit Phaseone 645 body with a Mamiya DM 22 (leaf aptus-ii 5)back, this is my first digital MF system, I absolutely love the color of this DM22 back. But most of time I shoot portrait with naturel light, the noise of ISO 400 of DM 22 is difficult to accept ( I know this before buy it).
I'd like to ask if someone has experience with DM33 (leaf aptus-ii 7) with ISO 400, it that better than DM 22? As the maximum ISO of DM 33 is 800, and only 400 for DM 22, can I say the noise control of ISO 400 on DM33 is better than DM 22? (for the moment, no budget to buy Credo or IQ)
please give me some advices, thanks

I owned the DM33 for 6 months and as I recall (it was 3 years ago), I didn't have any issues at ISO 400.

hello , thanks for your reply , so iso 400 is usable on DM 33 ?

I owned the DM33 for 6 months and as I recall (it was 3 years ago), I didn't have any issues at ISO 400.

Like I said, it was a few years ago, but I don't recall any issues shooting at ISO 400.

ISO 400 would be noisy, especially in the shadows. Now it depends on your use/expectation...
I've never pushed my Aptus II-7 beyond ISO 200.
