Limiting ISO to 800 on A7 cameras

[Steve P.]

I was just having a laugh with someone who I know shoots with a D810 and Df, hence the smiley face at the end of the brief comment. No offence meant, but you're over-reacting.

Tre, There is an ignore option. I exercise it.

That rant wasn't directed at you Steve and I understood the tongue in cheek nature of your comment. I actually agree with everything you said and no it's not an overreaction but rather an elephant in the room that just rarely (if ever) gets addressed...

I'll admit to been accused of being the direct Type-A kind of person though.

True... There's also a respect and lack of rudeness option. I tend to exercise that one. Just saying

Fair enough HiredArm. Thanks for the clarification. Sometimes it's hard to guage someone's tone from a forum post when you can't hear their voice. It's all good.

Yup... I'm a pretty calm person even in disagreement which I guess one would only know by face to face interaction. Definitely direct... Very calm.

The main example that I can think of where I want to shoot at ISO 1600-6400 is astrophotography. Getting a good exposure of the milky way is tricky, even for these cameras. I guess this seems to suggest it's fine to use ISO 800 and push the shadows up in post. As mentioned earlier, blown highlights aren't usually a big concern in low-light situations, but I suppose if you have a lit foreground object it could make a difference.

Yeah..but is it Df clean?

No. :ROTFL: But seriously, the Df isn't so much that it's perfectly clean either, it's more that it's pleasant looking noise when it shows and where it shows.

""Being a former Leica shooter/owner listening to CaNikon guys spout off FPS numbers, ISO numbers, say that Leica shooters were mostly collectors (although 90% of the Leica shooters out there were infinitely better photographers than the trolls) ""...... WOW, never knew that.
