Advertisement Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Hi viramati, Take a look here New Firmware on May 24th. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
viramati Posted June 29, 2014 Share #362 Posted June 29, 2014 Actually I never thought of that. We gotta give thanks to the beta testers!!! You could be right if you think that we are now on 2.0.1.2 and it looks like the next one maybe 2.0.1.5 some work may have had to been done to get things right. Anyway time will tell and I'm sure whatever is coming will be released when it is ready be it tomorrow or in a few months time;) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted June 29, 2014 Share #363 Posted June 29, 2014 You could be right if you think that we are now on 2.0.1.2 and it looks like the next one maybe 2.0.1.5 some work may have had to been done to get things right. Anyway time will tell and I'm sure whatever is coming will be released when it is ready be it tomorrow or in a few months time;) You know, this sounds about right. Because, jaapv said: "There have been plenty of early adopters using it for weeks now in the form of our betatesters. I find it pretty good." And, "Leica Boutique Store, recently opened by Dr. Schopf...(and Ralph Gibson) It is unlikely that they would do this without consulting Leica." And, "Fortunately I am not bound by an NDA, so I can assure you that the Betatesters were happy with the new firmware, apart from a few minor bugs (and a major one which was solved within days) and clearly told Leica "take your time to do it right". So, it would seem that there must have been a couple of versions in beta if, as jappv stated, "a mojor one which was solved within days." That would put us on about ver. 15... just a guess. Viramati, what do you suppose was the major bug found by the beta testers and how would a bunch of forum fanboys be able to be objective and find anything wrong with anything Leica? Still holding out for a release tomorrow, Rick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
genefama Posted June 29, 2014 Share #364 Posted June 29, 2014 To me the burning question is whether the update will have any effect on IQ or if it'll only be about functionality. The last update didn't fix the color-balance issues completely. Things that are just plain broken like auto ISO and the lack of lens code data in JPG files should be fixed as a matter of course and without fanfare. Only IQ improvements, new functionality, or things like compatibility with a better EVF would justify the long wait and big build-up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first review is in and before the FW has even been released. The color cast problems you mention (that are real) have to due with the thinness of the IR filter needed for Leica M-lenses and this can not be addressed in FW, I wouldn't hold my breath on this one. Search the forum for information on this... this has been covered thoroughly. Rick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

viramati Posted June 29, 2014 Share #368 Posted June 29, 2014 Personally I have no problem with the WB with the M, in fact I don't find any consistency in WB in any of my various makes of digital cameras and find the leica to be no worse or better than the others.

r7photo Posted June 29, 2014 Share #380 Posted June 29, 2014 Can someone expound on IQ, meaning overall punch? I know fw will address functionality but will it help IQ I personally like m, and yes it's different than m9, but cleaner and better. I wonder about enhancements, went out took some snaps today before new fw, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
