Doubt GR II has the same high iso performance as K5. Curious, could you share a 3200 iso raw taken with K5? I've never held the camera, would be interesting to compare to the K-1 files

Thanks for the tip! I'll look them up.

btw, I find RT does a very good job with GR files, colors looks better, and noise is less obtrusive than in LR, dunno if it's just placebo or what)

I don't have any issues at all at base iso with GR, it's clean and beautiful. But, starting at say 2000 and upwards it's getting pretty messy indoors, not even night shots. I'm not expecting an old apsc sensor to compare to my K-1, just saying that K-1 spoiled me in terms of high iso performance and it sometimes bothers me when I work with high iso files from GR. But as people point at above, i need to learn to embrace it and change the way I look at those files.

Another thought - maybe it'd be interesting to try using Rawtherapee for GR files, I've seen some very nice profiles good people in that thread put out that lower noise, and I always liked the RT's color reproduction.
Maybe will be interesting to use RT for a while and see what I can come up with. I think it even has film simulation, might suit GR files well :)

Eric Kim has been the main reason I got GR II over the upcoming Fuji XF10 :) His photos are very cool.
The above shot is amazing!
I can feel the fear slipping away :D

I've actually seen pretty similar noise way back when I was using a mft camera, but maybe K-1 spoiled me too much) I'm trying to overcome this flaw in me, I'm looking at Daido Moriyama's work now, maybe someone can suggest more of stuff like that? Gritty, artistic and interesting work that revels in grain and highlights it at times :)

I'm still scared! :)

thankfully it's a totally non-biological grain that I'm afraid of)

I don't even think this pet-peeve of mine is rational) I would probably not print any non-landscape images larger than 8x10, so I doubt noise will show up. I tend to pixel peep, and this is where issues come in :D

So I've recently purchased the Ricoh GR II, and have been enjoying it quite a lot so far. But, being spoiled by my K-1 super clean files (especially since I almost always shoot at base iso for my landscape work), I'm finding myself cringing a bit at high iso files with GR II. I understand it's not entirely rational, the GR shots come out looking pretty artistic straight out of camera, and I don't usually adjust a lot, I even started using jpegs (been using only raw's with my last 2 bodies), and again, shooting the camera is pure joy. I think I need some GRAIN therapy :) And some friendly advice (hope people don't think I'm attacking the GR lol).
