Beyond that it is what system you use (and can afford), I took my D800E out today - it is still hardly used. It was a real squash to fit it and Zeiss 35/2, 80mm Summilux in and it was heavy. I have used the same bag with M9, MM and 4 lenses and they take less space and seem lighter.... john -----Original Message----- I have been playing around with Tina's DNG files which she sent to me, as well as files that Greg Rubenstein had also sent to me and I must say that the results from the M Monochrom are exemplary. Looks like Leica has hit a home run with this one. I must add though that the DNG files from the MM are not necessarily better or worse than shooting with other camera bodies and converting to B&W, just that they are very good in their own right.
