With that said, if I was a Leica M8 owner, I'd find this solution completely unacceptable. To spend that much money on a camera then be "forced" to use front-lens filters to stop dark shadows / grays / blacks from turning magenta? To have to go through a process of sending my camera in, not having it for weeks or months why Leica does some hack on it to fix the banding issues?

The only acceptable solution is for Leica to fix these issues permanently and in-camera, and offer a complete replacement, with as little hassles as possible, to early adopters. No filters, no hacks - replace the camera with a new body that completely resolves these issues.

This is not the Leica of old... this kind of QC wouldn't have passed any kind of scrutiny within the company in the past. That's how they built their rep. This camera may destroy that rep, unless they resolve this the only proper way - fix the issues, and replace the cameras.]]>Nov 25th 2006 4:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/25/leica-annouces-update-plan-for-buggy-m8-digicams/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/25/leica-annouces-update-plan-for-buggy-m8-digicams/

Leica has half the battle -- lenses -- but needs to find an ergonomic and technological approach which matches the M's... Not easy!]]>Nov 25th 2006 6:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/25/leica-annouces-update-plan-for-buggy-m8-digicams/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/25/leica-annouces-update-plan-for-buggy-m8-digicams/Dec 22nd 2006 7:47AM
