There might be some inherent hardware-based per-pixel noise reduction in the imaging pipeline, but a DNG wouldn't have software NR applied to it like a high ISO JPG shot in-camera would. You'd still have to apply NR in post processing, just as before when a DNG+JPG was captured. The JPG used for preview would have NR; the DNG wouldn't.

I will always have Michael next to my heart. Literally. When Luminous Landscape issued DVDs, I bought all of them, and ripped the tracks to MP4 i-device-compatible videos. There are 11 videos on Iceland alone. The good news is, instead of having a nameless or faceless presenter of scenes, Michael and his associates are participants and presenters in these photographic adventure videos. And having them at hand at all times, they continue to inspire me as well as others I come into contact with.

Ah. Unfortunately, Lightroom doesn't yet support direct tethering in LR yet. In the meantime, you could use Leica Image Shuttle to put DNG files from the camera into a folder on your computer, then enable Auto Import in Lightroom, setting the watched folder to the same one you selected as output in Image Shuttle.

The only indications that the camera is fully supported are the proper display of camera metadata, showing there is an Adobe Standard camera profile and that the lens profile was automatically applied.
Are you seeing these in your Develop module with SL files loaded?

You can't set White Balance to the default DNG profile, but you can create a preset. Alternatively, what I was doing in my testing was to manually set a gray card white balance in the camera before shooting the tethered session. I find this technique works well, and have used it for LR as well going back to the S2.

Correct, there are no strap lugs on the lens itself. I had no issues carrying from just the camera strap. The lens points downwards which doesn't exert the same kind of lateral torque on the lens mount that mounting it to a tripod from the body would. In that case, use the tripod foot to remove the stress on the mount.

I use both Windows and Mac OS. I'd definitely appreciate a Windows version soon, but my understanding is that the ball is in Adobe's court, not that Leica is trying to snub Windows users.
