Subject: [Leica] M9 DNG compression

Has anyone ever done a comparison of the 34.6 Mb Leica DNGs to the 
compressed versions which are 18 Mb more or less depending on the 
degree of detail in the image? While it is not an issue for me, with 
a mere 1000 to 2000 images per year, terabyte drives being so cheap, 
It probably is an issue to the much more prolific professional 
photographers.

The question is: has anyone ever found an image where this degree of 
compression has been seen to matter?
