I would make sure you don?t have any in your preferences any color noise 
reduction. It?s very hard to control and I find that with many or most shots 
its best to have it completely turned off or you get an image made of mush. 
And your expensive Leica glass becomes a waste of money. I don?t think with 
full frame even at high iso?s we need it. I think it?s a thing needed for 
cropped formats. And maybe even then a thing of the past. Unless its smaller 
than a 1.5x crop.
I think the appearance of sharp noise just like in film sharp grain gives 
and appearance of sharpness in the image. As that?s what the image is made 
of anyway. No, the image is not quite made of noise like a film image is 
made of grain but in a way, it is.

    Sharpness is highly overrated. Said HCB who never really need to work a
