I decided to spend some time with the K3 III handheld at night to see what high ISO looks like. Looks pretty good, not something for every shot but this was at 12800 ISO. https://www.flickr.com/photos/cleopold73/51711078209 Corey -- Check out my Photo Stream at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cleopold73

looks very good and a nice shot!

It’s a nice shot! Noise wasn’t apparent until I zoomed in to 4x. Out of curiosity I compared your shot with a few ISO 12800 shots taken with my K-5. It looks as though the K-3iii offers about a 1-2 stop improvement in noise.

I agree with everyone that it is a very nice photo just in itself. > On Nov 28, 2021, at 3:03 PM, Rick Womer <rickpics14@gmail.com> wrote: > > It’s a nice shot! Noise wasn’t apparent until I zoomed in to 4x. I didn’t pixel peep, but it’s showing up on my screen at about 10x13 and when I was shooting film I would have been thrilled to get a print that size that was that clean shooting my normal ISO 32-125. (Pan F, Pan X, Plus X). The performance of modern sensors boggles my mind. > > Out of curiosity I compared your shot with a few ISO 12800 shots taken with my K-5. It looks as though the K-3iii offers about a 1-2 stop improvement in noise. I would guess the K-3iii to be 2-3 stops improvement, but you can only really compare cameras shooting the same scene in the same conditions with the same processing. I forget what your previous camera body was. K-10? But compared to anything older than the K-x the performance difference will be mindbending. I have found that in situations like this it is a good learning experience (in regards to the camera) to shoot the scene and bracket the ISO. With ISO invariance if you nominally underexpose it a few stops by using a lower ISO, you don’t blow out as many highlights, but when you process the raw files the shadows aren’t much, if any, noisier. I do this a lot when shooting astrolandscapes, and each camera is different. This is the aspect of modern photography that excites my inner nerd, finding and pushing the performance limits. I expect that with experimentation you may find that you’ll be able to handhold down at, or slower than 1/10 second, though may need to try a few frames to get a sharp one. Using a monopod, even back before my K-5 I found I could consistently get sharp at 1/10 to maybe 1/2 or 1 second. Since what I was photographing was people dancing, that was usually too slow to be useful. > > Rick > >> On Nov 28, 2021, at 9:41 AM, Corey Leopold <cleopold73@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> I decided to spend some time with the K3 III handheld at night to see what >> high ISO looks like.

Well, I don't have access to a K3iii to make comparisons but I find noise is minimal even at 12800 on my K5. With the consumer lenses I have, I mostly use TAV and seldom find the ISO ever gets that high. The K110D & K7 I previously used were very noisy above ISO 800.

Nice shot, and really shows what very ISO can do. Rather like the Right Bank in Paris.

That's 'very high ISO' ☹ John in Brisbane -----Original Message----- From: jcoyle@iinet.net.au <jcoyle@iinet.net.au> Sent: Monday, 29 November 2021 4:14 PM To: 'Pentax-Discuss Mail List' <pdml@pdml.net> Subject: RE: PESO: Riverwalk Nights Nice shot, and really shows what very ISO can do.

DItto what Rick said on both counts... I'm still looking for color stuff from 1976 -  I found my tri-x negs and contacts but I hardly shot anything  - somewhat limited in time given I was making the trip primarily as a present for my Mom. ann On 11/28/2021 6:03 PM, Rick Womer wrote: > It’s a nice shot!
