5D and 3200 ISO

When working with raw data, there is no point in using ISO 3200 with the 5D, as that tops at ISO 1600. 1600 with -1 EV bias yields the same noise without reducing the DR by one extra stop.

The shot looks great for iso 3200. I think you are looking for too much.

Does anyone have actual proof of this? I know expanded ISOs are just regular ISOs pushed through firmware, but does anyone have proof that shooting at the max native ISO at -1EV and then pushing it +1 in post is better than shooting at an expanded ISO?

i was thinking about this the other day. i should do a test w/ identical shots @ 1600 -1EV and 3200.

Panopeeper has done extensive research on this, so he has work posted on this site to that effect.

3200 on the 5D is perfectly fine and usable if no "severe" cropping or viewing at 100% is involved. The following pic was taking at 3200 without noise reduction. For this shot the noise wasn't going to be an issue to me but camera shake was so I opted for the higher ISO.

Perhaps you can clarify this statement with another one of your posts[here] as I seem to read a contradiction to what I just quoted.

You are right; I need to clarify that statement:

use higher REAL ISO instead of pushing the exposure in raw processing

use a faster lens so you can use a lower ISO
such as
Canon 35mm F1.4
Sigma 50mm F1.4
Canon EF 135mm F2

The 35mm F1.4 & Sigma 50mm F1.4 are very nice on the 5D

Do you have a link to a post where you explain why you should do this or could link me to where I can read about why one should do this?

does this work when pushing two stops (+/- 2 EV)?

It depends on the exposure; see https://photography-on-the.net/forum/...d.php​?t=626474 (a well-exposed image can be pushed much more than an underexposed one).

Keep in eye, that ISO 3200 on the 5D1 is already pushing by one stop (practically this is the same with the 5D2, even though ISO 3200 on that one is not fake).
