I find the max iso on cameras to be far higher than usable for me so I prefer to have the auto iso set to the maximum iso that's acceptable to me and work on changing other settings to stick within that. On rare occasions when I'll accept the higher iso, I'll change it temporarily for that shot and then change it back but I found very high iso shots so noisy that I'd be as well not having the photo.
I had a morning at Longleat yesterday so be prepared for a few more picsOh er Mike
With topaz Denoise and LR’s new Denoise I’ll let it go to 12800 if needs be, but it’s very rare that happens.
Were you feeling alright when you took these, f1.6 what’s that about?
I always fancied a TR7. My second car and my first new car was a russet brown Mini 1,000. I got a sun roof and a vinyl roof fitted. I loved that car
Had a play with NIk Effects yesterday, pretty funky but not something I'd use very often, if at all.

Yeah it’s definitely ‘out there’. I used to have the Nik software when it was free but I’ve lost the installer and I doubt it’d still work anyway. I’ve got the 30 day free trial at the mo but there’s certainly nothing that would make me want to part with £135 to buy itI think there's a little too much of everything there for me
With Nik there's about about a billion combinations of settings and sliders and filters but I think as with all of this you have to decide what you're going for and when you get there or there abouts stop and step away from the sliders.
I think it's more difficult to see in bright light but I think most of that is due to light leak into the VF, if I shield my eye with my hand it's much easier to see.
Artistic, nice.
Erm.... Ok. I am wondering how you'll photograph AND get married at the same time?
That's the most original excuse for buying a new lens I've heard
. Ive got an anniversary common up
Sounds like you have your plans already but it’ll be a shame that any friend or family member will miss part of the day to take photos.
Oh photography isn't anywhere near the main focus of the day. It'll be a 5 minute spree at a few parts of the day and then going back to enjoying ourselves. A lot of people will be taking photos and videos anyway so its more for the "quality" stuff. The bulk will be post ceremony at the place we are getting married at. No dramas
Cool, I have actually updated my post before I realised you’d replied
I have the 1.4x and really rate it, I think I tried the 2x but could be getting confused with the Nikon one I tried. I know I’ve never used a 2x that I’ve been happy with.
I think 2x TCs only work well enough with (fast) tele primes.
2x TC was dire with the original 70-200mm f2.8 which made me sell it and get the 100-400mm.

The trouble with those test charts is that I’d imagine they’re shot at close distance and I find TC’s ok at close distance, it’s when shooting subjects further away the degradation becomes more apparent.2x TC was a dire with the original 70-200mm f2.8 which made me sell it and get the 100-400mm.
you can use this tool for some comparisons

View the image quality delivered by the Sony FE 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 GM OSS Lens using ISO 12233 Resolution Chart lab test results. Compare the image quality of this lens with other lenses.
Looks to be about usable if you are willing to stop down to f8 with the new GMii version.
I imagine they are basically shot at the closest distance needed to get the full chart in the frame.
I’d imagine no more than 10ft awayI imagine they are basically shot at the closest distance needed to get the full chart in the frame.
Not sure how big thier chart is but I can't imagine it being 6x4" sized
I like how folks like phillipreeve test thier lens sharpness at infinity, "portrait distances" and closest focus distance. But they barely test fast telephoto lens let alone with TCs.
