Leica Website links to wrong Firmware

I just tried to download the latest M9 firmware 1.196.

 

Unfortunately the leica website has an incorrect link to the file. Instead of an M9 firmware the download link points to a file of the M240.

 

Can anyone send me the M9 1.196 file as a PN ?

 

Thanks!

I am having exactly the same issue. It links to the M240 firmware update.

Have you tried their M-E website?:confused:

 

I am not quite sure what you mean by their M-E website. I went to the Leica Camera support website got to the M9 firmware tab and of course it wants to download the M240 firmware update. If you choose M-E from the list there is not update listed. If you any other links that might do the trick I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Kind regards, Terry

It seems quite obvious Leica wants you to update your M9 or the M-E to their current camera: the M - typ 240.

 

Or, considering we haven't had a firmware update for the M240 for a while either (there have been rumors, but the M9 also had many rumors about firmware updates), maybe Leica only considers the "T" their current camera... :)

The M-E is not a current Leica camera? I'll be damned. And to think they let me register mine when I bought it last month. :cool:

I was sent the update via email by a fine gentlemen from this forum.

 

Thank you so much for taking the time do that. If you are ever in Vancouver beer on me...

 

I am sure it is just a mistake on the part of the web masters at Leica AG in that the update is not properly linked.

 

As much as I would like the Leica M - it is NOT going to happen - retired means retired these days as our governments (civic, provincial, and federal) would prefer I spend all my disposable income on (hidden) taxes...I still very much love my Leica M9 - especially with the very simple but terrific 28mm F2.8 Elmarit.

 

Cheers, Terry

Don't mind me. I'm just bitter because there are still things unfixed in Leica's most expensive camera, the Monochrom. And I'm not expecting a fix any more... And that while they now release some sort of wonder camera with all kinds of app and software features. Apparently they have enough resources to program a whole new touchscreen user interface, but a fix for their 6700 euro Monochrom is not feasible...

Sorry to hear there are issues with the Monochrome - I hadn't heard this. I had the opportunity to use a sales demo for a week or so and I really enjoyed it - ALOT. I thought the B&W rendering was nothing short of amazing.

 

They are 8000+ CDN dollars:)

 

Cheers, Terry
