>>3608576>You had to experiment, with *your* chemicals and *your* agitation and *your* times/temps, to get the proper ISO for *your* process.For the uninitiated, that sounds expensive and very, very fiddly. Like ladder testing hand loaded rifle rounds fiddly. Nostalgia and film effects aside, are you glad digital came along most days?
> That's why the earlier you amp the signal, the higher the current in the circuitry, hence the lower the shot noise.Makes sense, and a test bears it out. The ISO dial results in less harsh noise in the shadows to my eyes. Also, either my photo editing application exposure settings are screwball, or Fuji's ISO dial is, because starting at ISO-800 and moving down -2EV doesn't match up at all.
