luele Posted March 25, 2010 Share #1 Posted March 25, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) 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. Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

menos I M6 Posted March 26, 2010 Share #4 Posted March 26, 2010 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snakepottery Posted March 26, 2010 Share #8 Posted March 26, 2010 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! Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luele Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share #12 Posted March 27, 2010 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.

epand56 Posted March 31, 2010 Share #16 Posted March 31, 2010 After two years I'm still in honeymoon with my M8, but a new firmware would sure stir up the fire... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
menos I M6 Posted April 1, 2010 Share #17 Posted April 1, 2010 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). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
