I saw the picture before you sent the message asking if it might be an M8 problem and thought you had been experimenting with motion effects. The purple streak in the other shot looks like very heavy sensor overload due to the intense light source at the left edge of the image. I have read the posts on Leica User Forum and 1, agree it's a a problem that needs to be addressed, but 2, I wonder how often it will occur in practice. I took a couple of shots at Rockport with the M8 at 1250 with bright incandescent lamps in the frame and find nary a streak. So at least for the situations I expect to be shooting in most of the time it should not be a problem. If you have to shoot alot around halogen or other intense point-source lights it's a different matter, though. The big question, I think, is whether or not it can be corrected in firmware. >At 09:24 AM 11/6/2006, you wrote: >>hmm, I'd say motion blur of specular highlights is well possible with >>1/30... > >I'm usually much steadier than that.
