  1. John,

    Long time no talk. I haven't played with the Low ISO setting yet. Any differences in IQ?

    BTW - Outstanding shot!

  3. @Jeff,

    It has been a while. I haven't been on twitter or facebook much lately either. How's the book coming along?

    As for the ISO, I'm not much of a "tester" but I don't notice any discernible difference between ISO's 50 & 100. I'm also incredibly pleased with ISO's up to 800 and never worry about pushing up to there if I need to. I generally shoot with the lowest ISO possible for what I'm trying to accomplish. In this case ISO 50 happened to work to get the shutter speed/aperature combo needed for maximum depth(without diffraction) and retaining texture in the water.

    @Bob,

    Thanks Bob! It's a very interesting subject, isn't it?
