The question has to do with the size of Leica DNG files. Back in August, 2010, I had a set of DNGs all but one of which were 36.4 MB in size. All of those taken the same afternoon at the same general location. Similarly, using Leica's compression, in December, 2011, I found a set of DNGs taken the same day, at 18.3 MB. Then, in November, 2011, there was a set taken the same day, where the file sizes varied from 19.6 to 23.1 MB. Was this a result of a firmware update in which Leica probably introduced LOSSLESS compression? To round up the picture, I found a set in August, 2012, where the size range was 8.5 to 10.3 MB, undoubtedly where I set "compressed DNG" on the camera.
