I was using slow lenses and I wanted to handhold.

I agree that a lower ISO would result in less noise.

However, I was also considering the HIE film images are inherently grainy -- that is part of their beauty -- so having some noise (ie., grain) in the digital images isn't necessarily something to avoid.

I will post some low ISO tests shots sometime in the future for comparison.
