If only it weren't so @#$%^&* slow!!! When I take a number of frames of people, I can't guarantee that the best expression will be in the first 7 frames. It might be the 8th or 9th frame, and then, with the MM, I'm hooped as I wait many seconds for the buffer to clear. It's made worse by the fact that the DNG's from the MM are uncompressed. The compressed M9 DNG's clear faster. I've never seen a difference between compressed and uncompressed with the M9, but the MM files might be different. There's nothing to compete with the MM files though, unless it's those from the Phase One B&W back. But that would be even a lot slower to shoot. Ah, why can't we have it all???? :-) Henning On 2013-06-26, at 1:41 PM, Douglas Barry <imra at iol.ie> wrote: > > "Henning Wulff" <henningw at archiphoto.com> wrote > offered to get me a loaner MM for a week or so.
