[Leica] M8 sensor shows double exposure m8-72ode - Geoff

[j2m46 at hotmail.fr (Jean-Michel Mertz)]

 Hello Geoff, the effect might occur under severe underexposure - this is 
what Phil thinks. It seems to happen to M9 bodies too. I'll watch this 
carefully. Anyway, I had a good look at the other pictures taken the same 
day and there seems to be no problem. Replacing sensor + sensor board costs 
a fortune so I'll wait a bit before sending my M8 to Solms! (they also take 
months to send the machine back ...)Jean-Michel> From: hopsternew at
