Hello

Can you help me?  I'm considering buying an old D-Lux 4 but it looks like the RAW format is RWL?  I'm a darktable user and I'm not sure if that currently has the ability to read RWL, (it's not listed but the list isn't exhaustive as the raw import module is constantly updated).

Could anyone link me to a sample RWL file so I can test it?  I haven't managed to find any online.  

Thank you in anticipation

David

I have a DLux4 but converted my files long ago. If you cannot find a sample of RWL, maybe try a GraphicConverter with the DLux4?

I am shocked at how much useful information about the D-Lux 4 has disappeared from the web, and that in seven pages of search results I could not find a single reviewer who offered samples of the rwl and jpg files from the camera.

Please click on my screen name, and use the Message feature here to send me a private message, with an email address to which I can send you a D-Lux 4 rwl file. These files are too large to be uploaded here.

Thank you.  Unfortunately this fails with a message that messaging is not available for my account.  Perhaps this is because I am a new forum user and private messaging is blocked for a while?  Are you able to message me so I can reply maybe?

It appears that I was able to send you a private message. Check the notification bell in the upper left corner of the forum window.

Update:  A sample D-Lux 4 RWL file from @ceflynn opened correctly in darktable.

For the future: Adobe DNG converter (free) will convert nearly all legacy raw formats to DNG.
