Three lenses were used with the same exposure (shutter, aperture, ISO).

You appear to be underexposing, and more so with the older lenses. I know you said "same exposure" but the old glass could well have less light transmission.

Sure, and as you will see in the original post, the images do not have 100% the same brightness. But I've also used these lenses on a GX7 and a GX8, and not experienced this effect. Ever.

I've now also tried with one more adapter and lens, and also the "native" (but without electrical contacts) Samyang 7.5 mm. Same noise.

Show us a properly exposed image in normal light please.

I've taken hundreds of images with adapted lenses on my G80 and have never seen a difference in noise compared to native lenses.
