Devil Dan,
Buy some Heliopan UV filters marked “Digital.” These filters have IR and UV filtering that remove what I would call “noise” in a way because theses signals are not visual, yet get recorded.
Pretty much they clean up the files, and you will see less clipping.
Don’t know if your digital cam makes a histogram, but if it does you will see a noticeable difference.
This is one of my secretes: don’t tell anyone.
With my Leica MM I use a number 2 yellow Heliopan filter asked “Digital” so I don’t need a major amount of contrast adjustment, only minor tweaking to contrast.
My lazy slacker method is kinda shooting like a large format shooter, where I maximize everything at time of image capture to minimize post processing.
If you want to print big digital noise gets propagated the more you manipulate a file. Basically you loose IQ the more processing you do.
Pretty much carry over your large format ways of shooting.
My friend Daryl has a Blad that is convertible film to digital. He states that it is not how many pixels, but the size of the pixels is most important.
Again people should look at all the shadow detail in the images you post.
