I wonder if the E-30 ORFs will have the same problem with lightroom that 
the E-3 ORFs do?
Since portraiture is mainly what I do, I can't have that problem happening.
I can't remember what I thought of Capture One. I don't think I tried it 
with the E-30.
Wonder if I can do another free trial and try it out with the E-30 files.

Whatever I go with needs to be relatively fast...or at the very least, 
it can't be gut wrenchingly slow. I don't have time for slow. I am also 
unwilling to make a trade off, fast processing but a poorer quality. 
Shooting RAW+jpeg for now. Most of the time the jpegs are more than 
acceptable.
