I keep it at auto and do "RAW lightest" or "JPEG light" noise reduction(when needed) in Topaz DeNoise in Photoshop.
The result is sharp and noise free images up to 8000 or 10,000 ISO.

It's on ebay for six more hours, and now it has one bidder, so it will sell there.
If somebody is interested the current bid is at 300 GBP

Anyone interested?
I love the reach that F1.4 gives me, but i'm more telephoto guy and 50 is a bit short for my needs.
If you are not comfortable for straight swap we can negotiate something.

Do somebody know where i can go, preferably by bike, but train and bus is ok too, to shoot something more exotic? Close to Southamton.
Like some big lake or pond where i can find kingfishers or something. I've been to the parks in the city, but it's like ducks and coots, but i'm not so fond of photographing them anymore.
Cheers guys!

Thanks mates!
snappychappy, basically search for spots and habitants, then little study the light of the spot and theoretical positions when the little guys would go. Then wait or go home and return 1 hour before sunset, when the sun is beginning to be at horizon level. Then hope for your theoretical predictions come true and give you the result you want. Yeah... and be quiet, don't wear shiny or white clothes.
BTW, the first two shots are taken when i got a little noisy and the squirrel got scared, so i had to jump fast from the ground and hope it won't run away. Happily, the little guy was more curious than scared, so I managed to take couple of shots. Yep, and keep it close to wide open - I go max to 5.6, but most often at 4.

But I assume you know that, cause i've seen some of your photos on Flickr and they are really good.

What's the lens and shutter speed? Moments are very good, just keep pushing when you reach your goal for IQ
Maybe NR is a lot and thus the IQ degraded.
Good job!
Btw i think it's called Common Kingfisher, not classic
Cheers
