    I am using the Ipad3 as well. When entering a SD Card with a DNG only I am able to import the file but whether Photo nor Iphoto is capable of resolving the file into something usefull. It stays as a pixelated image. Thinking about it, it is not about the hardware, it is about the software who would make it possible. Maybe I'm missing something here. 😉

    Please ask Leica:

    (1) Please allow us to write a DNG raw file to BOTH cards at the same time.
    Having lost images when a CF card failed, I would like to make a backup
    automatically with each image. jpg is NOT the same!

    From what I understand there are no supply issues with Leica M9 sensors. The cameras are still available brand new and we can always order more from Leica when needed.

    Leica is all about unique products that are peerless, and I think the new Leica M Monochrom fits that perfectly. Of course they understand it won't be the volume seller so that…[Read more]

    I am excited about it, there has not been a monochrome digital camera (not counting digital back) since the Kodak DCS760m.

    Now- will they leave the IR filter off of it?

    If I recall correctly, if you bought this lens, Leica would include a VW Bug. I think the price at the time – 1972 was about $18,000 for the lens and $2,000 for the VW.
