It is amazing how much nicer the M looks without the complication of LCD and control buttons cluttering it up.

I Try the eye-fi pro in the MD to send the DNG drectly to the IPAD and develop them with LIGHTROOM APP.
It is fast, and developping a DNG on the go is something very practicale.
I was affraid because MD had no menu and IPAD prefere JPG wich we don't have.
FUNNY, PHOTO show an extremly very verry poor quality JPG when the transfert is done.

Borrowed a DF for a week. Loved it EXCEPT low light AF was really bad. Shot about 65 clicks one evening at a gathering in a hotel ballroom. about 15% of the shots were in focus. What gives on that?

I will speculate that the iPad is only importing the low-resolution, highly compressed JPEG embedded in the DNG. The entire DNG file is not imported. The embedded DNG JPEG is intended for use to preview images on small screens... so it looks like ****** in LR.

There is no other JPEG generated by the M-D. You have to use a raw converter to transform the DNG to a TIFF or JPEG file at full resolution.
I've tested my workflow using M-D sample files provided by a friend:
- DNGs on SD card transfer to iPad Pro
- DNG -> JPEG or TIFF using PhotoRAW on iPad Pro, output to Photos/SnapSeed/Photogene
- Finished JPEGs to Photos data storage with Photos/SnapSeed/Photogene
- Photos stored DNGs, JPEGS -> Lightroom 6.6 via Image Capture on OS X
I've not used Lightroom Mobile on the iPad, however.

I just spent two weeks with one for a review. I only own film cameras (M3 and a Rollei) so it worked pretty much like that minus the backend of shooting film. I loved it.

Those B&W's look fantastic..!

Many thanks Emile -- it certainly seems to give my Monochrom 246 a run for its money.

Just saw your review on Facebook - you summed it up nicely.
BTW, like you, I sometimes reflexively chimp with this camera 🙂

Thanks haha. We mostly did the chimping stuff for the video but I'm not gonna lie, for the first day or two I would reflexively do it just because I knew I was holding a digital camera lol.
For the others who haven't seen it, here it is:

Interesting portraits here, I specially like the light and shadow in the last two pictures.
Knowing you are an experienced photographer I'm just curious to know if you set exposure manually or if you let the camera decide it !
Thnks, robert
