My only issue is the high iso performance 

This @6400

Michael, it looks as if you have not applied noise reduction in post-processing. If you have , please share your method with us.

I did but it seems a little brutal to me compared to the only other noise reduction I use in the Sony Raw converter for my Sony files ...

I open the Leica files in Photoshop Elements 9 and Camera Raw v 6.1 gives me two channels  luminance and colour noise reduction .

Both on a sliding scale .

I adjust accordingly but both seem to crush detail pretty quickly.

Thanks. I normally use Lightroom luminance gently until I reach a good compromise.  I rarely need color noise reduction. If I have a problem picture, I use Noise Ninja which I have had for years.It samples areas of noise automatically or by direction. I adjust opacity in a layer in PS. I try to avoid under exposure.

If that is correctly exposed for ISO 6400 and at full frame I'd expect it to be better than that, even in ACR if you play with the detail sliders (my starting point at this ISO, in Lightroom, is Colour 25-40, Luminance 40-60, Detail 25 for both). Much better is Topaz Denoise AI, just with the auto settings.

Thanks fellas .... its not full frame .

I think the problem here is two fold .

First , I probably haven`t got the best noise reduction software for these files and secondly I can`t play as fast and loose with them as I can with the full frame Sony files .

Which is why , I guess , I keep hold of the Sony despite preferring the CL colour science .

I take a reasonable amount of indoor equestrian shots ,where the light is poor but I still need something like a 1/800 shutter speed and a decent DOF .

The iso takes the hit .

I`ll rework the files using your suggestions ..... thank you .

I`m keen to make this work for me and if I can maybe augment this body with a SL .

CL/280mm f/4 APO-Telyt-R . . . 

With local business and industry back to almost full tilt, many of my nearby critter friends are less available, and the available ones are understandably less confiding. Attached is one of my little friend, Alfie, shot last week . . .
