Hi Anders,

I haven't noticed any increased noise in those shutter speed ranges, but 
that doesn't mean that there isn't any.  For landscapes, I'm usually 
using a Tokina At-x Pro DX 12-24mm, which on my D200 is equivalent to an 
18 to 36mm lens on a full frame camera. With a lens that wide, I usually 
don't have to stop down as much as I used to.  I'll do some tests, 
though, and report back.

Regards,
Peter De Smidt
