With the 2X Extender on the Leica Telyt 250/4, shutter speed, and DOF suffer.  
I decided to explore some higher ISO values with the E-510.  Most of my work to 
date with this combination was at ISO 400.

Towhees are normally ground feeders, but once or twice a year I will spot one 
on a feeder.  Here the Towhee Male is captured at ISO 800, 1/160 at f/4:

A Cardinal Female served as my subject at ISO 1600, 1/60 at f/8:

To my eye, 800 is quite useable, as is 1600, though with a bit more noise.  I 
must admit, though, that the higher ISO values of modern sensors would be 
appreciated for this work.

Comments and critiques welcomed.
