Recently I took a bunch of photos in low-light with my K5 set to ISO 12800. The lens was an A 28/2.8, which I get good results with with good light. After doing noise reduction on them the images looked pretty smudgy. Almost, but not quite, like water color images. I’m blaming the result on poor focusing on my part, which I found difficult in low light. I’ve had my eye on a 35mm DA L F2.4 AL for a while. Would I have gotten better results with it?
The gang on the Fuji forums seems to complain about this a lot. The watercolor effect seems to be part of an overly aggressive noise reduction process that smears the image. My understanding is that Noise Ninja is better for removing high ISO noise than just about anything else, at it does a better job of leaving detail intact.
