Thierry,
I dread using a June2007-vintage e-75lv at ISO 200,
so do you know how Sinar achieved this new level of high ISO performance?
It seems as good/better than with 31MP micro-lensed sensor.

I will strongly recommend the upgrade to the owner (not me).New sensor board, that's what I was told: I know that it is little information, but they don't tell me all!
Why not upgrade your "June '07" vintage? That will be possible starting June, at an attractive price.
Thierry
I hope others find it interesting. Of course the file wasn't meant to be pushed 3 full stops, so the highlight clipping is understandable. It's the "but still..." part that is really impressive .
Thierry, I know you're busy, but whenever you're able to,
I'd like to see what ISO 800 looks like with models
(e.g. as how James would use : http://luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=22425&view=findpost&p=193058
and http://luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=22425&view=findpost&p=193000 )

Here are some 100% crops from the file after it has been pushed to ISO 6400 equivalent and resized to the native size of a Nikon D3 image:New sensor board, that's what I was told: I know that it is little information, but they don't tell me all!
Hi Victor,Amin,
what file did you use? I would like to try. I must say, if you 'pushed' a file exposed at 800 to get 3 more stops (ev - 3.0 setting) that would be quite amazing. If I didnt see your file I wouldnt believe it.
I am also amazed that the difference between 7/-7 and 4/08 back based on a board (that is NON SENSOR improvement ) could be that dramatic.
Thierry,
Thanks for making the RAW file available. I downloaded it and was impressed with the low noise. I noticed in the metadata that this was converted via brumbaer tools to dng. Why not the Exposure and sorry hope this is not too big a question but what happens to the file on the way to DNG? To me it looked like some processing had already occurred. Thanks,
Eric
Amin,
Thanks for taking the time to do this work and sharing the results. Of course, thanks too to Thierry for taking them. This seems to me a remarkable improvement over previous generation backs, at least the ones I've been using.
