Also, if you are shooting both dng+jpg the buffer will fill up much faster; most of us I think are now shooting just dng. Now to the important stuff: If you could score a loaner M9 and 21mm Summilux, could I score a loaner 911? ;-) --Bob ==On Tue, Jan 17, 2012 at 9:25 PM, Roger Hart <rhart76 at gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks for the point, Herb.
