Bokatom #1 Posted May 13 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Just bought a used M8 and it has Firmware 2.005 on it. I can see the latest is 2.024 but there have been minor problems with it. Is there a list of what features were added in each firmware? What version would everyone recommend I go to (if I need to change at all?) TIA Edited May 13 by Bokatom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bokatom #4 Posted May 13 One thing I've noticed is that it has a black Leica dot rather than a red one. Was that an option or just an aftermarket update? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyGarton #5 Posted May 13 (edited) The M8.2 had a black dot - if it's one of these cameras, it will say LEICA M8.2 on the hot shoe. Otherwise, it's an aftermarket update. Edited May 13 by AndyGarton Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn’t say M8.2 so guess it was just a cosmetic change. Looks great either way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
