for those interested in the low light/high ISO abilities of the MARKIII

last night at birdland....joe lovano and ravi coletrane..great music as well

What ISO were you shooting at? Great pictures!

Looks good.

i shot between 2500 and 3200....85L wide open at 1.2 which makes it tricky since the dOF is so small....i do love the markIII with the 85L...there is no doubt that the servo issue is real but assuming they get that taken care of this is one hell of a camera

i looked @ a few photos...they were all shot @ f/1.2, ISO 2500, 1/320

kinda strange settings if you ask me.

what is strange about the setting?

in what way would that be considered strange....the light is variable so the pictures i ultimately kept were the ones that had shutter speeds fast enough to keep things in focus at 1.2...many of the shots with the same settings had shutter speeds in the 60-100 range which werent fast enough...had i shot with any other settings i wouldnt have gotten high enough shutter speeds!...

I change ISO a lot and I use ISO 1600 a lot, it works great for me. I recently shot these shots (click right-side of image) at the Los Angeles Jazz Festival and I didn't think I would get anything good. Having no flash and as you can see under a tent with no lighting I tried the best I could. Mark III with 70-200 f4.
