Since there is so much anxiety about mac-only -- could you provide a small python file to read out the raw photos on any platform ?

It looks like you could just 'dd if=/dev/disk123 of=/tmp/bigrawfiles' and then postprocess with said python script.

Yes, not as good as a polished apple app, but for many people that really like the hardware and don't mind a bit of DIY, it's maybe enough...

That actually kind of exists currently via "MDCUtil", which should work on both macOS and Linux:

For example:

    $ MDCUtil ImgReadFull <image number> output.cfa
That outputs the raw data stored on the SD card though, so I need to implement converting that to a standard format like DNG.
