Nathan (and I'm sure others) were interested in some high-ISO shots.
These are all RAW, developed in Capture One v. 6.4.3, except for one out
of camera JPG for comparison. Shot with the Panny 20/1.7.
Here's an ISO 3200 shot: my living room bookcases under tungsten light.
The whole frame, reduced, so you have the general scene. 1/60, f/1.7

For the next three images, what displays initially looks a lot like
what an 8x10 print might look like. Click on the double rectangle above
the image to see it at 100% pixels.
Here is a long skinny center crop with some shadowed areas. Developed in
Capture One 6.4 with no sharpening. The color NR at the default, and
all other NR at zero (no luminance NR at all).

The same crop with the default Capture One noise reduction set.

And here is approximately the same crop from the out-of-camera JPG with
the Noise Reduction at "Low." "Standard" NR is too much. Even "Low"
makes things a little more plastic/waxy looking than the Capture One
defaults.

Now here's a real torture test: the digital piano in my den, lit with
only one 60 watt bulb and some blue glow from my computer screen. The
scene looks brighter in the pictures than it does in real life. There
are some shadows of varying darkness. The black plastic of the piano
case in deep shadow is about pixel level 3 on the 0-255 scale.
The general scene:
<http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/OM-Dtest/PB180025scene.jpg.html>
ISO 800 crop with Capture One default noise reduction.
<http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/OM-Dtest/PB180025-iso800.jpg.html>
ISO 1600 crop with Capture One default noise reduction. (sorry about the
motion blur, even Oly IS isn't perfect).
<http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/OM-Dtest/PB180026-iso1600.jpg.html>
ISO 3200 crop with Capture One default noise reduction.
<http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/OM-Dtest/PB180027-iso3200.jpg.html>
ISO 3200 crop with all Capture One noise reduction parameters reduced by
about one-half, (Color NR stays at the default).
<http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/OM-Dtest/PB180027iso3200-halfNR.jpg.html>
ISO 3200 crop with all Capture One noise reduction parameters set to
zero (Color NR stays at the default).
<http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/OM-Dtest/PB180027iso3200-onlyColorNR.jpg.html>
ISO 3200, Out of Camera JPG with Low NR.
<http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/OM-Dtest/PB180027iso3200-OOC-LowNR.JPG.html>
Hope this is useful.
