Thanks Rob. Capture One does have Noise Reduction that probably helped some. Also it was not underexposed. I remember having a discussion about that recently, where you want to expose closer to the bright side if you can, to reduce noise in the shadows. I find that when metering with the FA 50/1.4, the images come out with more exposure than some of my other lenses. Haven't quite figured that one out yet.
