I have been using a SanDisk Imagemate 12 in 1 card reader for some time now, mostly with Compact Flash Extreme III 2G and 4G but also older Lexar cards. No problems, ever. I also have a SanDisk 1G Extreme III SD card I use in my little Canon SD450. That card also works perfectly from the M8 and the Canon. The Ultra II won't work in that reader even though it works in the M8. I have tried a number of times. In my case it was the reader. I had a simple SD only reader with Transflash adapter I bought with my cell phone. Removed the Transflash, inserted the Ultra II. Works like a champ, every time (maybe 30 times now). I still feel that something must be wrong with the Ultra II. I bought it because it was on Leica's list. Every card I have ever tried works. That's cards from both my sons and daughters cameras and my own. I don't think that list means much. I'm going to buy a spare card. Think I'll try a Lexar.
