My precious Monochrom ( M9 Based Digi-Leica) would not accept a memory 
card.? Just kept telling me that there was no SD card installed.


I tried a bunch of other cards.? No luck.? At this point I saw a BIG repair 
bill coming my way.....

Did a Google search of ... Leica M9 SD Card Problems.... All the articles 
were old ( well, what do you expect given the camera is old?)

Three solutions were offered at that time...... a) contacts on camera or 
card were "dirty".... Clean them b) Bad memory card or card reader in the 
camera ( what I feared) and finally, c) In the beginning of the M9, there 
were some issues with certain cards not working.... Leica chimed in and said 
they knew about the problem, towards a fix.

The cards were mostly Sandisk....


Well, the cards I was trying were all Sandisk, Extreme Pro.... I had 64GB, 
32GB, 128GB..... none had worked.

I did have a pair of Transcend 32GB cards..... tried one and it worked 
perfectly.

The message to leave everyone with.... if your camera acts up,, Google the 
problem... and follow the solutions offered.

I would have expected Leica to fix the incompatibility years ago, but 
nope.....


What did we do before the Internet?


B+W anyone?
