Leica recommends

Zitat

UHS-II (recommended), UHS-I, SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card (SDXC cards up to 2 TB)

 

Brands i had good experience are
Sandisk Extreme Pro SD
Sony G UHS-II Tough SD
Lexar Gold SD and CF type
I can't remember having any memory card failing in the last 20+ years, but i mostly use high quality, fast cards from well known brands.
i suggest to get the fastest you can find and afford.

ProGrade, Delkin, Sandisk 64gb cards. Lastly a 64gb Sony Tough card i had issues with on the M11 but it seems to work well on the MEV1 so far. All UHS2 cards.

Thank everybody for the advice!   Playing now with the new MEV1... Did not take into account how useful it can be when shooting very dark scenes... interesting... I had gotten it to use it with a 135 and 21mm but this might be a new use I did not think about!

I only use fast cards. Write 300 mb/s 

And if I am looking for cheap alternatives I take the V60s. 
with write 200 mb/s.

Delkin Black - I got tired of poor quality Sandisk and others which may have been fakes, as there are so many in the market.

Delkin Black are pro grade, extra tough, and have a serial number to confirm they are genuine with the manufacturer. Also have a lifetime warranty, and speedy replacement should there be any issue.

I won't use anything else now.

I use their 128 Gb, UHS-II, C10, U3, V60 card.

I agree, I only use Delkin Black on the M11 and now the M EV1. Never had an issue with them. I've used both 128GB and 256GB versions.
