And I thought I knew it all..........a few months ago I was chatting on this forum about using high ISO for portraiture and I heard anything from 200 to 128000. The picture below was shot at ISO800 1/60 F1.2 on my Z9 and Z85:1.2 I argued the fact that I wouldn't want to go over ISO800 and someone piped up and said "Just use DXO RAW first" So that's what I did and the results are quite unbelievable.
The full size image is processed in ON1 plus Topaz (without DXO RAW).
The two screen shots are zoomed in at 200%
The first without DXO RAW
The second with DXO RAW prior to running my ON1 and Topaz Action........
This image was shot in a hotel room that was not that bright

I don't understand why you wouldn't shoot at ISO 100-200 if you are in the studio where you can control the lighting.

My bad I thought I added the verbiage that we were in a hotel room with not the best lighting conditions
