leicamr Posted January 16, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted January 16, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I took delivery of my new M8 today. Great! I insert the uncharged battery, switch on and peer through the viewfinder. An illuminated red 'blob' appears in the bottom of the finder. I can't read the LED information. I focus, and, oh the rangefinder is out of wack in the verticals. I guess this has an impact on the led display also. To think I was concerned about magenta casts, banding etc.. I have a classic viewfinder / rangfinder issue! I rather like the serial number of my M8 so I am keen to have this camera adjusted. I can then wonder if it will be returned with some other issue! Â My M8 may have the latest modifications but I have to return it anyway, just my luck! Â Is firmware 1.09 the latest? Â Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Hi leicamr, Take a look here My new M8. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
wparsonsgisnet Posted January 16, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted January 16, 2007 Mark, 1.09 is the current version. 1.10 is supposed to be ready next month. Â Sorry for the pain. Quick, take some infinity shots to hold you over till it returns. You can use the time learning to use C1, Jamie's profiles, and maybe the JFI b/w profiles. Take enuf to play with.

bnelson Posted January 16, 2007 Share #5 Â Posted January 16, 2007 Mark, Â Really sorry for that. I got mine a couple of weeks ago and no problems except I'm learning to focus manually again. I really hope Leica gets ahead of this initial problem curve. Â Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicamr Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share #6  Posted January 17, 2007 Leica UK have been great and very apologetic. They are collecting it today and the viewfinder will be adjusted back at Solms. The turnaround will be quick. Even with my brief handling of the M8, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Can't wait to get some of my own compositions from it!  Regards  Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
