[Leica] DNG

[kanner at acm.org (Herbert Kanner)]

Perhaps I was not clear enough in my posting. The choice of 
compression is made in the camera. It is always exactly a factor of 
two, a fact I checked by looking at the file sizes. I now quote the 
Leica instruction booklet: "The Compressed [DNG] format includes a 
slight [sic] compression which
--causes only a negligible deterioration in quality
--provides full scope for subsequent procesing of the picture data
--allows faster saving'--takes up less memory space.

Also, I do not use Abobe's standalone raw to DNG converter. I use 
Lightroom, which allegedly has this built in. Will it convert Leica 
DNG to Adobe DNG?
