In a simplistic sense it's hard to see why this would be so if ISO is in effect just a turning up of amplification.
I'd have though that too, if there's something else at play then it renders the Pentax TAv mode a bit hit and miss with regards to getting an image with acceptable noise levels.

£53 per hour......but how long is it going to take to strip and clean the 50-500, then reassemble and check/calibrate etc

Although this is the non HSM version so probably a tad easier.

I've just discovered the tell tale filigree of fungus in one of my lenses.

The bad news is it's my Sigma 50-500

I suspect Sigma will charge me and arm and a leg to give it a clean, assuming it's not etched it's way into the glass yet.

I'm hoping someone can recommend a business or individual who does reasonable lens cleans.

EDIT: sorry that's Fungus not Fungas

On another note:

I love Dr Who, although not happy with them killing off Clara

Can anyone tell me what Pentax were thinking with these grips.

I assumed the K3II took the DBG4, but SRS sent me a DBG5 which looks identical with the exception of a larger locating pin at one end. It obviously won't fit the K5.

Is there some fundamental difference with the inards/electronics?
