Yes, instead of increasing from lets say ISO 800 you use -1 on exposure compensation effectively using the same time/aperture as you would have used with ISO 1600. Instead of ISO 3200 compensation -2.

For low light dont exceed ISO 500, but instead underexpose and push in LR. This limits the noise.

For tripod work use the RRS base plate.

Anyone knows if there is a ISO point where one can reduce noise better by NOT increasing ISO but rather underexpose and compensate post-processing by LR 4.x?

As an example; for Leica M9 this is...

Wate

The WATE is a great all-round wide. The big advantage is negligible color shift problems, so no need for Cornerfix. For architecture there are other wides with less distortion.
