Well ... this is just all so ... typical! All we ever get here is 'K5 K5 K5 K5'. It just won't stop will it?! And to cap it all that Rasta Alien thing keeps on appearing, again & again - you can't get rid of it, it just keeps coming back.
Well its time to fight back - for too long now this image has come to represent the height of high ISO performance perfection. The K7 needs to come into the race! I have been looking for something to put the K7 back in the fight.
Now I'm not really a portrait kind of guy - more gardens & flowers, that sort of thing. But I have found something that is the ideal combination - here it is - !! The K7 at ISO 3200 !!
Ok - so its 'only' ISO 3200. I know its not as 'wow wee' as 12000100 or whatever. But the shutter speed for this shot was a blistering 3200/sec! (That is fast).
I wanted to keep it even, so I kept trying to dial in that higher ISO, kept on pulling the dial. But it wouldn't move past 3200 - couldn't figure it out. Must be an item in the menus somewhere, but I'd left the checklist at home. Anyway, I thought I'd try a computer simulation of the shot taken on a K7 at ISO 12500 ....
Now thats very impressive I think - anyone who thinks its unusable clearly needs glasses - nothing a little tweak with some NR wouldn't sort .....

i backup to my local wd drive which is then backed up to my Seagate which then backs up to Flickr twice as i use two private accounts for backup purposes. That way i leave my backup drives permanantly connected and auto backup when changes are made to watched folders.

Both work, one has the dial missing from the side which i think doesnt do anything and is more as a calculator i think.
Not sure if they are dslr safe, i always used them with remote triggers on stands, never took the risk of putting them straight on camera.
A cheap strobist set up.
£20 each or the pair for £35 delivered.
