Re: When extreme high ISO is better than nothing: a rundown on my experiences shooting ballet

thats a tough call at such low light, cant see the d800 being any better , it might be worst because of shallow dof , all i can advise is getting a  brighter lens say 1.2 50mm 85 1.4 and getting closer to stage and cropping in for close ups, also have you tried lens converters for front of lens as they  dont loose any light with them, they work a treat on bridge cameras but i havnt tried them on my k7 yet.

our dance school hs projected images projected from the back of the stage not the front.

cheers don
