ISO 800 was during testing the camera more than the lens. That was around the time I got the E-M1 Mark 2, and subsequently bought the 40-150 and some other PRO lenses although I already owned the 12-40 f/2.8.
So I started at JPEG ISO 100 and shot 4 apertures, then ISO 200, 400, and 800. So it turned out it was at ISO 800 at f/8 that the ducks were both spaced out just about right and balanced the bench nicely.
My second test was printing. The picture at ISO 800 impressively lasted to 20x30 (as sized in the picture frame), but if you pixel peep, it really only lasts to 16x20. RAW at ISO 100 f/4 20x30 is significantly better and could go larger. I use both card slots now to send JPEG to the lower and RAW to the upper.
Guest Room where picture looks great at 20x30. The iPhone hued everything towards yellow.

Very interesting. Thanks for the explanation. Makes perfect sense to me now. The picture really looks nice framed on the wall. Enjoy!

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
