innerimager Posted September 10, 2009 Share #121 Posted September 10, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) And what should I use again on the Nikon in place of a 24 Lux at 1.4? well, the 28/1.4 I guess. At about $3000 used still a bargain by comparison! In truth, my 28/1.4 may go on the block to help get either either of the 21 or 24 luxes. ;>) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Hi innerimager, Take a look here M9 ISO comparison. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

hoppyman Posted September 10, 2009 Share #123 Posted September 10, 2009 That's incorrect. Canon raw files are not noise reduced, and Nikon files only in certain cases.ACR on the other hand applies NR to all raw images. Anyway, I think the M9's high ISO is not stellar but alright. The 5D2 is better at 3200 (its sensors' top ISO speed), but pushed to 6400 it's already showing banding. That is not correct for Adobe Camera Raw or for Lightroom which uses the same conversion. There is some noise reduction as a default (also sharpening), but it may be switched off or only applied to previews. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Roberts Posted September 11, 2009 Share #124 Posted September 11, 2009 well, the 28/1.4 I guess. At about $3000 used still a bargain by comparison! In truth, my 28/1.4 may go on the block to help get either either of the 21 or 24 luxes. ;>) Course at 28mm you could probably get by with a 28 Summicron ASPH... I was just thinking that with the 18mp I could use the 24 Lux, get an extra stop, and crop if I really need to...(and skip 28 all together)...

plasticman Posted September 11, 2009 Share #125 Posted September 11, 2009 That is not correct for Adobe Camera Raw or for Lightroom which uses the same conversion. There is some noise reduction as a default (also sharpening), but it may be switched off or only applied to previews. The raw conversion algorithm in ACR and Lightroom introduces some noise reduction (or at least micro-detail loss) which cannot be switched-off, even when noise reduction is totally disabled. I know this is heresy now, when LR is suddenly supposed to be the best developer there is, but the truth is that more micro-detail is retained by both C1 and especially Iridient Raw Developer than in the base conversion in LR. THis has been well-documented around the web for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hans_za Posted September 11, 2009 Share #126 Posted September 11, 2009 these samples looks to me, similar to the M8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
