ISO 3200, f/1.2, 1/60. That's about as dark as I have shot. This was with the 1D3 at a St. Valentine's dance.

You're missing the shutter speed parameter...(no f/stop >2 without mentioning shutter speed doesn't complete the concept of "night-vision")

Here's a shot @ 3200, 1/4 sec @ F4 shot with a 50mm F2 mf nikkor...

5D2, 24L, f1.4, 1/30, ISO3200

5D2, 24L, f1.4, 1/8, ISO3200

5D2, 24L, f1.4, 1/30, ISO6400

The only low light shots I could find with the 5D2 + 50L doesn't fit your criterias...but I'll put them up anyways...

ISO6400 1/160 f4 (Was just testing ISO6400)

ISO3200 1/1000 1/1.2 (Again...just messing around..hence the 1/1000 shutter at ISO3200. LOL!)

Ed,

Difficult to say to be honest b/c of the resizing of the 21MP image at least perceptively reduces noise even more.

So all I can say is at least within MY workflow considering resizing and comparing against the 1DMKIII, I feel I have definitely gained a little on the ISO front.

Shooting in ISO 3200 does not concern me in the least bit. And shooting in ISO6400 feels like ISO3200 on the 1DMKIII.

The AF on the 1DMKIII continues to kick some major arse...and I am sure once the novelty of the 5DMKII wears off, I will use each based on task at hand.

Easier said than done...since I tend to go with the camera with the best IQ. The 1DsMKIII is truly the best of both worlds isn't it Ed?

:D;)

i think so at iso 1600 and below. i know FF has grown on me alot more than when i had the original 5d but that could be because i've discovered UWA and i'm sure the extra resolution doesn't hurt either :D.

Dammit Nick. Just as I was thinking "ok no, I don't really want a 24L that bad. I can live without one", you've go and do that....

:lol:
The 24L is indeed a low light monster, especially on a FF body...you know...like the one you have.

I don't shoot a lot of low light, but that second shot you posted, aside from being a very nice shot, also displays some wonderful characteristics of the lens. I think the 24LII is calling my name.
