Deep down I want to believe LeicaNikon built a custom Cassidy D700 capable of creating 128,000 iso. Can you imagine capturing the Rougarou at night with that sucker! Chris NOLA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Howard Ritter" Subject: [Leica] (Was: some tests at 128,000 asa) Now: from the bottom of the scale Actually, as I figure it, Kyle's images were taken at ISO 25,600 (two settings beyond 6400, the camera's highest numerated setting). To give equal time to the darkness-challenged, here are a few I took today in rare NW Ohio bright sunshine with my "Leica" D700 (if it had been wearing Solms glass it would've been a Leicon) at one stop *below* ISO 200, the camera's lowest numerated setting?equivalent to ISO 100?for astronauts on the surface of the Moon, perhaps, or at any rate 256 times slower than Kyle's. (Full disclosure: some of the images are at ISO 200.) C&C welcome: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/hlritter/D700/ Side Cut Park, along the Maumee River (largest of the Great Lakes tributaries) is part of the Toledo-Lucas County Metropark system. It's named for the "side cut" extension of the Miami-Erie Canal connecting the main canal with the city of Maumee. Three of the original six locks are preserved in the park and shown in my photos. --howard On Oct 22, 2008, at 3:58 PM, Kyle Cassidy wrote: > Sweet barking cheese! > > > > Yeah.
