At ISO 1600 noise becomes more clearly visible, with a little chromatic aberration, but the images were quite usable! Naturally they lost a little more sharpness.

Things clearly begin to fall apart at ISO 3200. However, remember that you're seeing the image at a ratio of 1:1 (1 image pixel to 1 monitor pixel)... This corresponds to a much larger printed image size than you would normally use, so you'll be able to employ ISO 3200 if the need really arises.

The inverted pyramid at the Carrousel du Louvre (Paris) threw the exposure calculation system off a little, but the shot was still very usable after a few corrections!

Shooting in a museum without a flash is quite possible with the R1 (Egyptian Art department, Louvre Museum).

Under the Louvre Pyramid, corrections were needed to get an acceptable exposure, but the fine structures are reproduced without colored fringes!
