Hi Peter
Iridient is very useful - not just until lR supports cameras, but afterwards to look at lens corrections, it's also a very good converter in some conditions.
What is even better with it is that it integrates really well with LR - so that if you shoot JPG + RAW, and then import both into LR (with JPG as master) - when you use Iridient as the external developer it looks for the RAW file and uses that . . . and then over-writes the tiff file that LR created from the jpg.
I wrote an article about it:

Jono,
Again many thanks, link works now ....
I tried with LR and results are great for X-Trans files as well as Olympus EM1 ORFs.
Will try later with Aperture as well ....
Having said that I wish that Apple would continue to support and develop Aperture as the new Photo App for Yosemite is just crab and not really useable for me WRT flexibility and features. All this abandoning of Aperture drove me back into LR and C1Pro again which start to work properly now for me - but I would have preferred to stay with Aperture. But maybe wonders will happen
Best

These were developed with Iridient as a trial. I screen captured them. However, I did go on impulse and did buy a real License today. Part because I have been using Iridient from time to time this way and felt it was fair. Part because Iridient 3.0 can do great color, they improved the noise reduction and can already do 40 MP RAW files from the OMD EM5 MKII.
Iridient is also a prime RAW converter for Xtrans.
That said, LightRoom at least for the Nikon 1 does superb color noise removal, but more often than not, I don't like how the color comes out by default and it's a pain to get a color I want. This however, varies from RAW converter-camera combination.
I will agree with you it could very well be that LR does good support for the OMD EM5 MKII and then it would be a redundant thing, but we will see.

Iridient seems to have more functionality than RPP64.
Both can deal with high resolution raw files from my E-M5 II.

HI there
I've corrected my link - but of course I haven't corrected the quote in Peter's (it had two http/ in it!
Here it is again:
"http://www.slack.co.uk/2014/iridient.html'
and as a link Iridient Article
Incidentally - it I've described it in Aperture, but it works quite as well from LightRoom.
if it still doesn't work try this Article at Leica Forum

Many thanks Jono. Got it now.
Jono,
Not having ever been in the position of having an unsupported camera before, I have a few questions about a work around for using the ORF RAW files.
I've only shot RAW using the EM5 Mk II and obviously LR 5.7 will not recognize it for import into their catalog.
If I decide to get Iridient 3.0 and I shoot both JPEG and RAW, will LR recognize and import both JPEG and the unrecognized ORF files? As described in your link, using Iridient as an external editor requires it to be in the LR catalog. If this works, and I edit as much as I want of the ORF file using Iridient and close it to go back into LR, what file form does it revert back to, if not a TIFF as the ORF would still be unsupported?
