[LRflex] SV: Re: Gross Stupidity?

David,
 
Congratulations. I believe the DM-R will make you an even happier photographer 
than you already are. 
 
I too have followed closely not only the results but also the feedback from 
people who have used the DM-R for a while. The jury seems pretty unanimous: It 
is a great tool! 
 
As an analog photog I am still recovering from the Agfa,Konica and Nikon blow. 
I simply can't get it into my mind that Nikon would want to stop all production 
including its FM3a. Not to seak about that curious press release from Fujifilm 
implying thta right now they are just hanging on with the tip of their nails. 
 
By the way continuing your logic on boosting ISO. I could speculate that a 800 
iso underexposed 3 times=3200 that takes you nearly to the limit of whare you 
can go with the D20. Of course it remeians o be seen if that will also produce 
good pictures:)
 
Happy shooting
Tim

        Indeed, it is.  However, I confess, I have ordered it from Joseph Yao,
        in Hong Kong.  The price, after shipping, duties and taxes is still
        nearly $1800 less than the Canadian price. Besides, nobody in Canada had
        one to ship!

        It was Peter's advice that finally swayed me.  I have no doubt that the
        DM-R is a magnificent piece of kit, but I want to use High ISO's when
        using the Telyt w/400 & 2x converter, a combination I use a lot. 
        Unfortunately, the high ISO range is not a strong point in the DM-R,
        though lower ISO performance appears to be outstanding.  Peter suggested
        that he underexposes by 2 to 3 stops and then corrects in "development"
        and gets much better results that way.  It seems to be true, and if it
        is... ISO 400 underexposed 3 stops - ISO 1600 with better noise
        characteristics.
        
        Time will tell.

        At this moment, I think it is money well spent.  After I've had it for a
        while, we'll see!
