Hi,

 

I know, there is already a thread about the new M8 FW - but here is the information I got from Leica today: They e-mailed me, that the FW will come in early may.

 

I think that's good to hear.

oooohhhh.... lense database?. :)

 

That would be a big bonus.

I am fine with just fixing the shutter lockup in "discreet + C".

 

Until then, I keep my mode dial taped to prevent accidental camera lock ups.

 

Love the M8.2 despite of this one flaw though :)

Ohhhh!!!

 

My wants:

- Lens database

- set ISO on PROTECT button

- set EV on main dial

- better battery consumption

 

And I'm a happy guy!!!

 

:-)

Does this mean we are going to have another acrimonious series of posts as to whether their really will be a FW update or not and what will be included? If there is an update, great, if not great too, as my M8 is fab with or without an update. Frankly the best camera I have ever owned!

Hi,

 

the information I got from Leica was, that the FW fixes the stripe problem and the discret-modus problem (I have them both) and the date for the FW-release.

 

Nothing more.

 

But it is boring to read in so many threads the "I want this or that" - a forum is not a whishlist, it's for sharing informations.

 

So let us wait and have a look what's in.

Eggscuse me... WHY NOT?! We're customers and any brand makes their products from custoners demands/requests/needs... I think you got something wrong.

I made my own firmware upgrade on the M8.2 (as many others have made):

"discreet mode fix" see tape between self timer and "S", blocking out "C" entirely

 

The photo above is part of a gallery here and a small writeup with photos about the Leica Frankenfinder on my website.

 

The On/Off switch on my M8.2 works now exactly as it should be (same as my M7).
