johnbuckley Posted April 26, 2007 Share #1 Posted April 26, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) At the Zenfolio site linked below are two new galleries, based on a trip that took me to Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, Monument Valley, and the Grand Canyon. I went there on a project not directly related to photography, but while I was there, took a few pictures ;-) Some know that my M8 died on me halfway through, and I had to get a second one sent to me in Moab. I am now back and about to send the dead one to Leica. I'll report in when I know definitively, but rather than the usual Sudden Death Syndrom, it is possible sand got in the shutter. Will know soon. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these two galleries. It's beautiful country out there...JB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

psquared Posted April 26, 2007 Share #2 Posted April 26, 2007 Beautiful series, John. My M8 had shutter failure soon after getting back from Monument Valley. Did your camera also say "Drive Blocked" and "Shutter Failure"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbuckley Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted April 26, 2007 Peter - what happened was very similar to all of reports of electronic/battery Sudden Death Syndrom: I could take pictures, but couldn't review them, nor access any menus. The difference, however, was that I also had a sudden inability to get the shutter to engage when pressing down on it lightly. It felt stiff, and any pressure on it and I would take a shot. So the camera still took pictures, but didn't really "work." Leica is going to have to figure it out.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
