Ah but in the beginning you forgot God created the earth, then he created a 'digital' sensor and said it had a base ISO of 100, then 6000 odd years later he created film and said in his 21st commandment that this new fangled film will be said to be correctly exposed for a given brighness when his son was crusified at midday and the apperature shall be called f8 and it will be exposed for 1/125th of a second and that shall be called EV 0 .SandmanEric Stevens
And the new D5 would have a max ISO value of "ISO EV+10" which can be pushed in-camera to "ISO EV+15", which would still be equally impressive.
But first it will be necessary to agree on a reference EV.
