I'm off to Antarctica again in the next week, and will be taking the R9 DMR, 280mm f2.8 (largely on monopod) 70-180 vario (largely on the zodiacs covered with plastic and on the monopod on land) and some wider lenes. What sort of ISO, minimum shutter speed etc might I aim for. I have been using the DMR usually no faster than 400 ISO with some negative setting if I need more speed on the EV dial. Also, any comments about what to do with the files: should I keep them as the big 20meg files, convert to DNG files in LR. Does Capture 1 really do anythingn for the images that LR and PS does not? Any hints on handling? Boy just typing this is making me keen to "get out there".

My comparison was on the medium that matters to me, a print. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
