This is just too cool. Anyone using the M8 for Monochrome conversions needs to play with this.
Basically, the author discovered an uncompressed RAW mode for the M8 and has written software to convert to uncompressed DNG. You also pick up some extra rows and columns in the image.

I’ve uploaded my initial batch of images taken using the V1.05 raw convertor.
all I can say is- Leica should have had 16-bit DNG in the original M8 firmware, and Thankyou to Arvin for doing this.

Version 1.2 of the software is out, easy to use, and something that should be considered especially of you use the M8 for Monochrome conversions.
Nikkor-SC 5cm f1.4, at F4.
Simulated Orange filter using LR4.4 presets. No exposure adjustments made in Post- this is “1-Click”.
