[Leica] Last minute Cuba problem

[piers at hemy.org (Piers Hemy)]

I use the Epson P-3000, Alastair (though for O, not for H & L files).  The
support for ORF files from the O cameras comprises display of the embedded
jpeg in the raw file - you do not get to see the raw file itself (the
resolution is clearly not as high as it should be from a raw file), so the
"dng only shows as jpeg previews" is as good as it gets, sorry.  That said,
it works a dream, and surely does "support" H files in the sense that you
can back them up onto the Epson device, using it as a portable HD with
menu-driven interface. You just won't be able to preview them onscreen, as I
understand from your posting.

There are other brands that do a similar job - Viewsonic and Jobo come to
mind - but I can't say if they support H and L files (or O for that matter).

I can't think of an alternative that would not require a PC to drive it.

Ok, I finally just about go all "digital" and suddenly I'm thinking about
film for our trip to Cuba. WHY? Seems the Cuban government is "prone" to
taking laptops from visitors and only returning them when you leave. If you
are staying in "homes" as we hope to be, then you are likely to have your
laptop confiscated.

So how to travel and back up Olympus Hasselblad and Leica digital cameras
for a month? The best I've come up with is the Epson P7000, but it does not
support the H'blad files and dng only shows as jpeg previews.

Anyone used the Epson? Any suggestions?

TIA

Alastair
