[Leica] Hello, to M8 users, can you tell me what your workflow is, for DNG?

I doubt that.  DNG is the non-proprietary RAW that all of the 
Photoshop and Lightroom gurus suggest converting your RAW to, whether 
its a NEF or a CRW.  It should be a DNG.  The only reason not to 
convert is if you intend to use the camera manufacturer's RAW 
convertor.  But who knows how long those proprietary raws will be 
around?  DNG is here forever as an open file format.  The file sizes 
are smaller as a plus and include all XMP sidecars files within the 
DNG files.  There's also something called Recover Edges in DNG, that 
I've never used but is supposed to be a good thing.  Not all software 
supports weird raw files but they all support DNG.
