That's quite impressive! I don't mind a bit of noise so I would go for a tad more sharpening and a touch less NR personally but that really is pretty darned good! 

One thing to bear in mind: these files are aggressively exposed 'to the right' to the extent of showing a little clipping in places. I did this in order to compare DR across the different resolutions per ISO so I actively wanted a little clipping. As a side effect, you might argue that a file exposed with +2 1/3rd stop at 50,000 is actually exposed at around 9,000-10,000....

Indeed ;)Possible to get a bit less brightness and/or a bit more shadows? Thank you very much again.

I look forward to anyone who looks through them

Outstanding @tashley – thanks for all your effort!  Will have a look at some pixel-binned samples right now…

[20 minutes later…]

Have had a chance to put the 64, 400 and 800 ISO pixel-binned 36MP images through my workflow (Adobe DNG converter/ C1 v22).  Used the "Leica M10R ProStandard" ICC Profile and "Film Standard" curve in C1.  Then tuned the C1 exposure, levels, clarity, NR etc. to taste.

Goes to show how much sensor/ software development has come on in the last few years. To my eyes the 400 and 800 ISO files are interchangeable – no difference in grain or dynamic range (!) As expected the base-ISO 64 images were slightly better, but you really have to nitpick to notice. The 64s were a tiny bit more magenta in the shadows, but this was easy to tweak.

So looks like the 36MP option lives up to the hype. DNG file sizes end up being @ 40 Mbytes and 7416 x 4928 pixels.  Definitely the "sweet spot" I had hoped.

IMO Leica are onto a winner here!  Just need to wait a few months for the early-adopter v1.0 snafus to be sorted out (erratic function buttons, "dead battery" issues etc.)…

Again, thanks so much for your effort.  Why Leica or the online shills reviewers couldn't do this is interesting…

I'll contribute a few photos.  Still learning to shoot manual with the rangefinder.  Photos were underexposed so you can see how malleable the files are when pushing exposure in post.

35m apo, f 8, ISO 64, 1/350 shutter speed.  Focus was the LCD screen in the middle of the Ferris Wheel.  The sun was behind the tree.

35 m apo, f/5.6, ISO 64, 1/125 shutter speed.  Focus was on the horse's face.

I tried to expose to keep it similar to what my eyes saw.  Sadly I left WB on Auto...

35m apo, f/(between 8 and 11), ISO 64, 1/160 shutter speed.

Focus is on the letters in the sign

Getting this much detail and gradation in flat light is much harder than it looks. Joel Sternfeld used a view camera for this in “Oxbow Grossing”.

Thank you! I got lucky with the placement of DOF here!

Hear ye, hear ye, Sir Tim deserves a big round of applause for his excellent work. Nice digs I say.

From the pictures taken with the 35mm Summilux ASPH in post #30 (L1000283.dng) and post #26 (L1000255.dng) it is clear that there is a tendency towards purple visible in the sky on both top lef and top right sides; left side seems a little bit stronger. Certainly not better compared how the M10 deals with that (with my copy of the 35FLE).

I agree - and there's something not quite right with #31 too... I was hoping someone else other than me would notice this. It may be because lens corrections are not yet supported in LR?

Not for me. If you want to be sure push red and magenta saturation and see what happens... nothing in the sky for me.

More DNGs available for download here: https://www.adaminsights.com/leica-m11-high-iso-noise-tests/#google_vignette No detail lost between ISO 64 - ISO 800, he's saying. For a camera with no IBIS that's really important IMO. I used Topaz DeNoise AI on an ISO 800 file in the link in #74 to get rid of noise that was visible when zooming in and it looked really good. An interesting question would be if color and detail at ISO 800 for the M11 can match ISO 64 on the Z7.

I have a Z7 to hand.... don't tempt me or I'll really start to get my peep on....

I really doubt that M11's ISO 800 shot can match Z 7's ISO 64, and vice versa.

As long as it doesn’t lose detail and color, putting a file processed in LR first through Topaz Denoise AI produces a very clean and detailed picture. 

Detail is always lost with more noise. Denoising programs can hide some noise and reconstruct some lost detail. The success varies.
