Do You Have A Trouble Free M11 or M11M?

I've been following the threads here about freeze ups and corrupt files for quite some time. 

I'm interested in knowing if there are M11 and M11M users who have not had these problems. Please acknowledge in this thread if you have trouble free M11 and/or M11M cameras. Thanks!

*Had* been thinking about an M11. Now? Not so much. ‘Pretty happy with my Leica M-P (typ 240).

I freeze since release day.

Mine is trouble free if you are including the M11P. 

[bcaslis]

Trouble free? No. Mostly trouble free? Yes. I've had 4 freezes in 14 months with almost 5000 pictures. With v2.0.2 I have had corrupt image which I view as unacceptable but those seem to have stopped. I think think Leica needs a firmware update to 2.0.2 to address this issue but otherwise it has been OK for me.

No freezes.  No corrupt images.  Maybe lucky, maybe I'm not doing whatever it is that can cause such issues.  The only "issue" I've had was the "charge LED not illuminating when charging in camera" which was resolved with one of the firmware updates.

Trouble free for me - an early M11.

M11-P, one freeze, no other issues, but owning it for only 2 months and 800 pictures.

Thanks all. Again, I'm just inquiring if there are people with trouble free M11 cameras (all versions). There is already a thread for listing problems like freezer ups and corrupt files.

My M11M was trouble free until 2.0.2, after which I had one corrupt DNG and one freeze. After resetting the camera (not importing old profiles and turning off dust protection), I've not had the issue return.

Have been using the M11 and the M11M since they both became available with absolutely no problems. Have I been lucky or just careful?!

No lock-ups since 1.6.1 and no washed out exposures since 2.0.x but I've only been using my camera lightly. I do a hard reset after every firmware update, which I found was pretty much an undocumented necessity for stable operation, at least early on.

My M11 got me into loads of trouble with my girlfriend, so count me out

Been a bit of a quiet lurker on the forum but I have a trouble free M11M. Not one issue since I got it last summer.  Firmware v1.6.something 

[DavidERuck]

Trouble free. Great camera.

My M11 (used, but mint) has been absolutely fine. I’m really a very slow image maker, however, often on a tripod and with self-timer. So the opposite of someone needing  lot of buffering. Maybe that has helped? As an aside, I use Sandisk Extreme Pro UHS-ii in it.

This thread is becoming quite encouraging.

I had M11 ，it freezd and had weird white balance， I sold it；now I have M11-P， it has bad DNG and still weird white balance， I dont think I just have bad luck……

[Stevejack]

I have an M11 still on firmware 1.2 which has been trouble free in relation to freezing / corrupt DNG issues. 

But I also have an M11M which I purchased with firmware 2.02 on it and I've had nothing but issues with freezing AND corrupt DNG.

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[lexffm]

I have an M11-P and an M11 Monochrom, both with firmware 2.02 when purchased. No problems so far
