A couple K5 shots (100 vs 51200)

You’re right. That is somewhat sparse lighting. Equivalent to ¼ sec. at Iso 1600, or 1/32 sec. at f/2.8.

Thanks for taking the time, at providing the forums with all the high Iso eye candy

I like it!
Great job on that one!
I was quite happy to find that 51200 was not purely a novelty.
Also... I can't comment enough on the quality of the noise patterns with this Pentax system(very impressive).

PS. here's a link to an early first batch on my end: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-dslr-discussion/118728-k-5-dng-raw...0-51200-a.html

Not perfect by any means, but it does seem to hold promise as things mature.

I'm in awe at the quality of the higher Iso. I’m no wiz kid at the NR processing table, but it is easy to see that this camera would open up a whole new domain for the rest of us too

You're quite welcome. As long as Pentax keeps sending me $25 checks for every K5 I help sell, I'll post them forever
