Leica fixes the issue of M8′s high sensitivity to infrared light
Remember the heftily-priced Leica M8 digicams, which were recalled earlier owing to some glitches. Well, the company has now released a firmware update, which they claim to solve the problem of M8′s high sensitivity to infrared light. Initially, Leica offered UV/IR filter for all lenses to sort out the problem but that led to the tribulations with the color cast of wide-angle lenses from 16-35mm. The new firmware upgrade is claimed to address this very problem. What else can we say other than ‘Better late than never.’ Via: Adorama
