Chubkins Posted November 26, 2016 Share #1 Posted November 26, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Well, I guess I was bound to run into some issues with this old Leica. I took a photograph today, and yes the sensor needs a good cleaning, but on top of that the streaks appeared! I've posted the previous shot before it showed up and then the affected shot. I'm wondering if the sun had something to do with it as well. Anybody with experience this late in the M8's lifecycle want to talk me through my options? Oh well.

Doc Henry Posted November 26, 2016 Share #2 Posted November 26, 2016 How many Isos for the second picture ? Banding ? H. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
david strachan Posted November 26, 2016 Share #3 Posted November 26, 2016 It may be a flare effect from the filter, and the sun. How many of these problems have you had? I've not seen that sort of problem before, after following the M8 closely for a few years. The M8 has proved to be a very reliable camera. Hope you can solve it.

Doc Henry Posted November 27, 2016 Share #5 Posted November 27, 2016 David it seems for me it's not flare http://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/207691-more-lines-high-iso-banding-acceptable-or-not/ http://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/72010-night-scene-banding-at-iso-640/ Chubs thanks , it happens mostly with high Isos ?

jaapv Posted November 27, 2016 Share #6 Posted November 27, 2016 The edge reference pixels on the M8 are not too well sealed. Normally you may get this type of banding at a highlight on the edge of the frame. My speculation is that a reflection of the sun caused the streaks. The M8 sensor has always been prone to occasional weird artefacts without any further consequences. if not and they start appearing in more and different type shots you have a sensor problem. Let's hope not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
