Advertisement Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Hi chris_tribble, Take a look here M10 Banding in high contrast setting. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Budfox Posted February 3, 2017 Share #62 Posted February 3, 2017 Lots of obvious banding in the 6400 file (though no artifactual banding as per the OP). I presume this was pushed by 5 stops from ISO 6400 is that correct? Is this the same or worse than M240 or SL/Q sensor files? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would NEVER think of trying to extract this much information from under exposed files! The point of the exercise is to see if there's any of the banding emanating from the edge light source..There's none. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
siraf72 Posted February 11, 2017 Share #64 Posted February 11, 2017 I have this problem on my M10. And it occurs at ISO 6400 and 3200 and it occurs very consistently and effectively renders those ISO settings useless. I guess I'll be talking to Leica as well. An example of the line I get in many images (the image is cropped). Welcome, dear visitor!

Vec Posted February 11, 2017 Share #65 Posted February 11, 2017 Yeah, that's a bad sensor. It would either need to be re-mapped to ignore that row or replaced. Either way it's going back to Leica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpk Posted February 19, 2017 Share #66 Posted February 19, 2017 I inspected the 2 sample files you provided and found that the pattern of the banding is very similar. This should not be the case!!! I guess if the issue has to do with the masking of the sensor the banding should always resemble the light situation. Instead it shows a pattern which seems to be independent from the light situation. Did you cut the pictures? If yes, please check if the banding occurs exactly at the same position in the frame! Edit: look here: http://www.imx.nl/photo/leica/camera/styled-56/ There is also similar banding at similar position in the frame in the ISO 6400 shot of the M10.

exile Posted March 4, 2017 Share #67 Posted March 4, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Both of the samples provided in this thread look very much like a green band that developed on my M9 after several years use requiring a sensor replacement at my expense. I would send these M10s back immediately under warranty. Leica will do the right thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilks Posted July 31, 2017 Share #68 Posted July 31, 2017 I purchased an MP 240 on Saturday from Leica. (I know we're talking M10) within 4 hours I had decided to return the camera. Huge amounts of green banding when trying to life the shadows in post. Blacks turning a horrid green. I tried exposing for the shadows and got hot spots on my images. Camera is going back today. Gutted as this camera and lens ( 50 lux asph) is a thing of beauty in my hands. The images from ISO 1600 and above a atrocious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Hoge Posted August 28, 2017 Share #69 Posted August 28, 2017 It's happening to me also. I've tried to duplicate it but it doesn't do it every time. Sometimes I have shot 7 or 8 frames from the same spot, and maybe only 1 will do it. Welcome, dear visitor!

Evo Posted August 28, 2017 Share #70 Posted August 28, 2017 This is not within spec (verified at Leica Store). Mine does the same thing and it's going back for replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Hoge Posted August 29, 2017 Share #71 Posted August 29, 2017 This is not within spec (verified at Leica Store). Mine does the same thing and it's going back for replacement. My Leica dealer had me send mine back to them today ( I've only had it 4 weeks) and they didn't have a replacement, but said they would have to send it to Leica for repair. So I may be in for another long wait after waiting 5 1/2 months to get it after ordering. Needless to say, I'm very disappointed. It cost me another $95.00 shipping with insurance. I feel like Leica or the dealer should repay this after I've spent $6500 for a faulty camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted August 29, 2017 Share #72 Posted August 29, 2017 Peyton that is indeed very frustrating and represents extremely poor customer care as far as I’m concerned. Not because your dealer didn’t have a replacement available but because you shouldn’t have to wait for repair and you certainly shouldn’t have been asked to pay the cost of shipping back to Wetzlar! (wow). I reckon if a camera is deemed faulty within a month or two it should qualify for expedited replacement from Wetzlar, i.e. jumping the global supply queue. You’d think Leica would want to lay out the red carpet for new owners. Hopefully the Leica support processes will kick into gear and do the right thing for you, but your report and a few others I’ve read here indicates to me that Leica does have a bit of a problem with either their customer support policies of their dealers’ understanding of those policies. There’s a simple solution to as expected rates of DOA and early failure and once again we have to look at Apple. Leica should be reselling these early returned and repaired units as refurbished for a discount, not forcing new customers to wait for prolonged repairs. Surely the failure rates aren’t so high that Leica can’t figure out a way to offload the few bodies that do end up coming back for early repair.

Simon Posted August 29, 2017 Share #73 Posted August 29, 2017 Yeah, that's a bad sensor. It would either need to be re-mapped to ignore that row or replaced. Either way it's going back to Leica. Correct me if I’m wrong but if it’s just sensor remapping that’s required can’t they just examine the files and send you the fix via firmware? They’re not actually replacing anything?

He is not supposed to charge for shipping for a camera under guaranty. He should have gotten you a new camera ASAP. Next time you need something done, deal with Leica directly. And never buy there again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what they told me to do. They said Leica didn't have any silver replacement cameras right now. I reported this problem to the dealer 2 weeks after I got it and they told me to keep watching to see if the problem continued, and it did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peyton Hoge Posted September 22, 2017 Share #78 Posted September 22, 2017 With m recently purchased M10, I get green banding across the centre of a photo when shot in high contrast situations. Quite disturbing. Any thoughts on this? Example below - using a summicron 50 shot in good light. Also get the same type of result on my Elmarit 90. L1001253.jpg My M10 has done the same thing (green horizontal lines). Did you get a replacement M10, or was it repaired by Leica? If so, how long did it take? My dealer had me send my M10 back to them and they sent it to Germany for repair. That was almost 4 weeks ago, and the dealer still can not tell me when I will get it back.
