[Leica] MM DNG Files from Tina test

[jon.streeter at cox.net (jon.streeter)]

The new M 240 is very close to the Leica I've been dreaming about.  

What is "Specifically the new micro lens configuration with shallower 
photosites."

And will CMOS produce a less-sharp image while yielding a higher ISO?

John, the additional features announced for the M typ 240 actually do
pretty much comprise the wish lists of many in the internet forums.
Liveview, video, EVF, focus peaking, R lens functionality, weather sealing,
better LCD, bigger buffer and 50% faster frame rate. Maestro processor,
higher ISO, much higher battery capacity/life.
No one has a production camera as yet of course, but to me the potentially
largest improvement may come from the different architecture of the new
custom sensor. Specifically the new micro lens configuration with shallower
photosites. If it performs as announced this may reduce or eliminate all of
the firmware corrections (vignetting, "red" edges) that proved necessary
with M wides in particular,

Cheers,
Geoff
