iso 51200 Who says they are not usable images
Lens: Sigma 28-80 Camera: K3 ISO: 51200 Shutter Speed: 1/125s Aperture: F5.6

Unedited straight from the camera. Resized for posting only. Why do so many people say images past iso6400 are not usable? I shot this image hand held, indoors, no natural lighting, no flash, and under a standard florescent light bulb in my celling fan. Cheap used $30.00 Sigma f3.5. 28-80 @ f5.6 80mm, lens mounted on a K3, not K3II. The hint to working with higher iso settings is to boost up the EV value to +3/+7 Anyone who was a "PRO" and used to shoot film would know this.
At iso51200, although the subject matter is nothing special the image quality is very usable.
