"I am bit surprised by your comment about testing the limit of the sensor given that the camera is a Sony A-99 MkII. I would have expected it to be more than capable of shooting at ISO 1600."

"Thanks, Jack and Andrew.
I'm currently shooting with a Sony A-99 Mk II. The lens in this case was a Sigma 105mm f/2.8 macro."
