A circular polariser and a couple of ND grads if you have them.
Star burst for night time twinkles etc.
A clear or UV for when the party warms up and food & drink go air born.

I would assume that the ISO 16000 is without gain otherwise what is the point? The specs were from a new Sony DSLR but they are also launching a 36MP FF sensor.
Indeed, one manufacturer has already indicated that they will be using both sensors, but tweaked.
I suspect that Pentax will announce a new DSLR before the year end OR in Feb 12 latest.

Well August 24th is set to be an interesting date as new cameras are scheduled to be announced. Several are to use the latest Sony sensors.
So will Pentax/Ricoh be looking at these sensors for use in the next K DSLR?
Only time will tell.
Some basic specs of what to expect from one of these sensors:
•24.3 MP Exmor CMOS sensor
•ISO 100-16000, with an ISO 50 option
•Video recording at 1920 x 1080 60p/24p
•Continuous AF during video recording
•Built-in image stabilization
•12 fps with continuous AF
•1/8000 shutter speed
•Face recognition

I suspect this is not the ideal lens for you, and the FOV of a 55mm would suit you better. On a DSLR the 77mm really comes into its own with tight portraits.
Also, the real quality of the lens won't be seen in relatively harsh and constrasty outdoor light. Wait until the evening if you want to shoot outdoors.
But I am glad you are enjoying it. You won't find anything better!

There will be better subject matter soon George. The above shots were a few out of desperation on Sunday afternoon. The weather has actually been atrocious here but this weekend forecast is looking good.I suspect this is not the ideal lens for you, and the FOV of a 55mm would suit you better.

I'll work with it and learn its ways.

My first DSLR was my istD, bought it at Willoughby's in NY after reading a review in Pop Photo by Herbert Kepler for whom I had the greatest respect.
As for CCD,it has something special that we've gone past with CMOS.
