Sigma DP2 Merrill shots

I shot those pictures last evening at an antiques fair, raw but in b&w color mode because I was sure that the color image will be unusable and I would convert them to monochrome anyway. Everybody knows that Sigma DP2M is useless at ISO400 and above, right? Wrong! I was amazed to see that the color image is at least just as good as any other camera, with good colors and decent noise level even at ISO 1000. I was so sure that I will keep only the monochrome version but I ended up keeping both color and Black & white images. At least for me the images are acceptable.
Shot handheld so it might be some camera shake.
Minimum PP in SPP 5.5.
In fact I observed that from ISO1250 things are becoming ugly, colors are fading and the noise level is unpleasant.
Sugestions are welcomed.

Rarity or rarities, we've had more than a week with little to no wind. All this over the Christmas & New Year period too!

Given the good weather and lack of wind, in between bouts of food consumption, I wandered up the hill look over the city as the sun set:

Some shots taken at Kentish Town lock on the Regent's Canal in London with the DP2M. The Canal and Rivers Trust are renewing the lock gates.

Haven't shot DP2M in a while and got burnt by its narrow highlight DR today :( No fancy shot got ruined anyway, but it did remind me of DR limits and careful exposure requirements:


Storefront
iso200, 1/60, f/2.8

On the other hand, if Merrill is given a scene with 6 stops of DR, it'll handle it like no other :)
