This is a night shot! The sky doesn't look like it, but it's pretty dark, the roof is lit from underneath ...

Thanks Matt. You must excuse me; I'm so old school with rangefinders that I'm still stuck in the era where ISOs are kept low and low light is handled by fast lenses - which suits me fine as I find it very charming btw. So much so that that when I see an ISO like that it stands out as unfamiliar territory and occasionally moves me to enquire. (You can see that this new M11 is not for me 😅 ).

I've capped Auto ISO at 3200 for both the M10 and the M 262 - though I'm thinking about going to ISO 1600 on the M 262 after looking at chrominance noise in yesterday's shots. But I'm mostly fine with the results up to the current value, so I see no reason not to use it, really. If need be, I can always convert to b&w to get rid of colour shifts after the fact in the unlikely event the DNGs appear too badly affected to correct.

The M8 is a completely different matter, though. Above ISO 640, it gets supremely murky, though I have created a high-contrast b&w profile with ISO 1250, but that's hardly ever used and basically JPG only ... I try to use the M8 at ISO 160 or 320 if at all possible.

My Z 6 and Z 7 II produce fully satisfying files up to ISO 6400. So, yes, there has been some progress. I'm very impressed and pleased with the abilities of the Z 7 II in this regard (after using the D750 for a long time, I basically knew what to expect from the Z 6).
