I'd be tempted to buy it just to keep it out of the church's grubby little mitts, but that's just how I am. Plus it would give me an excuse to go back to PDX...

Neat! Where is this?

I do have to admit, it reminds me just a little of a certain notorious statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest. sheepish look

It is in Upper Austria. It is a Park for children with thousends of lights. It is open from November to February. Today is the last day.

Lichterwelt - Eine außergewöhnliche Erfahrung erwartet die Gäste

Das IKUNA Naturresort verwandelt sich heuer erstmalig in eine zauberhafte Lichterwelt inkl. Advent- und Kunsthandwerksmarkt. Von 22.11.2024 – 23.2.2025 führt ein Lichterpfad durch den IKUNA Wald inkl. Punsch- und Verköstigungsstände.

It is remarkable how good is the S5 at ISO 6400...

You're talking to S5ii owner who did birding at 12800 and 20000, I know the score.

Always better to go as low as you can though as colour noise and DR suffer.

Ideally not above 6400 for anything, IMX410 is about the top which physically can be achieved in CMOS. IMX366 and others need to use 'trickery' in a broad sense of computational NR etc. Baked in NR has been used for a decade by now. I expect S1Rii to still be lagging somewhat but lets see what trickery is employed and the results. True astro fanatics will unravel such.

For me from Pentax K30 16MP APSC in 2012 to S5ii it's about 2 stops improvement, making my Samyang 14mm f2.8 like a f1.4 regarding astro/light gathering. Obviously it doesn't work for DOF!

Physical photon gathering wise we need different sensor tech, FoveOn is 1 stop faster without RGB filters but I believe that is a physical dead end unless they computationally compensate that successfully.

On dpreview there are good threads including the literal God of sensors but right now I forget his name as I'm rather worse for weary on cider

Yup. The fp, too. That was one of the biggest things that influenced me to rent and try the fp - a review with a shot of an interior scene, with dim red lighting, at high ISO - and it looked gorgeous.
 
I was having a thought on reacquiring the 85, and by seeing your images I know why I won’t. The images are nice! But for me the busy bokeh of the building and the trees behind at large apertures like these f2 images is why I didn’t like it too much for me. Especially the verticals behind/above the car, and the colored fringes, and tree upper left. It is totally subjective and depends on a lot of factors. But it happened for me on my first real outing back then and couldn’t unsee it. I think I posted pictures with a peacock back then.

Pictures are nice, it’s me, but wanted to share my thoughts. And I was wondering if Sigma 90/2.8 or Pana 100/2.8 does this too
