The same should be done with digital RAW files. >Doug Herr And that's what I'm doing. Experimenting. Just like I used to do with different films, developers, temperatures, and times. All this particular experiment was intended to do is give me a starting place. I never intended for anyone to consider these high ISO experiments a slam-dunk for either camera. I'm not going to stop using my M8 for high ISO photos but I will be more careful with it and with the processing of the digital files. I've learned, thanks to you suggestion, that the M8 will do better underexposing and using lower ISOs. That will definitely affect how I use the camera in the future. I'm still learning to use it and will continue with more experiments before I depend on the M8 exclusively for any assignments. Tina Tina Manley, ASMP, NPPA http://www.tinamanley.com
