Higher ISO's and fast glass question ?

Quote: Ken Piros 27.12.12, 02:30 Can you get good results with a f5.6 at ISO 3200 or 6400?
Definatly yes. But as still in the past - the more money you invest, the more you get.
Surprisingly the new Canon 6D is even better than the 5D MIII in this section. May be this will change - rumors talk about a firmware update for the 5D MIII.
I had really nice results at a musical theater at ISO 12800 with the 5D MIII which were comparable approx with ISO 1600 or slightly below with my previous 5D.
The 650D does also a good job in higher ISO, though she's limited and I wouldn't recommend her for ISO 6400.

You may not forget that fast lenses often have their highest quality potential when stopped down. It also eases the autofocus' sensors works when the lens has a fast stop. So the answer to your question can't be just yes or no.
