Probably about 1/3 the size of an M9 file???? Should be roughly the same size. M9 DNG files only store luminance data as well. Just that each piece of luminance data is from a pixel behind a filter of ONE of R, G, or B color. In other words - M9 color DNG is 1 x 5212 x 3468 pixels, just like the M-M should be. Tiffs made from those DNGs would be three times larger for the M9 since they would be 3 x 5212 x 3468 bits of data. Of course, if you make an RGB tiff from the M-M, it will be the same size too, so make them grayscale tiffs to save space.
