Subject: [Leica] M8 problem - scratch across frame

Rei, That is the problem. 2007 must have been a warranty repair. Does anyone 
know if Leica corrected a problem like this out of warranty? All I have is 
another dead M8 body that has a good sensor.

replaced the sensor in my case.

at 100% blowup, you'll see a thin white line intersects the base of my 
daughter's thumb.  the problem showed up on 1250 and higher ASAs.
