I usually shorten threads when replying to save space and electrons. on the high ISO's, I find that careful exposure makes a large difference regarding noise with the M8. Good post processing helps a lot too. With my film M's I never went above 400 ISO. With the M8 I am happy with ISO 640 routinely and use higher when needed. Auto ISO is a great help there too, only increasing the gain for you if the shutter speed drops too low. Whatever you are shooting with, I think that the Summilux 50 ASPH. is the best 1.4 50 on the planet! -- Cheers Geoff 'Licence to Chill' 2009/2/11 Edward J Caliguri <ejcaliguri@comcast.net> > > Howard; > > > I also noticed your 'Snow Monkey's' Photo -- They don't look like the Snow > Monkey's I've seen in National Geographic(!)But I have two of my own who > look similar to yours.
