Wow!  This is a responsible position to take.  I applaud Leica.

1) the "fix" to the banding issue sounds like a hardware fix.  However, it 
could be a firmware fix that is buried too deeply to be a
field retrofit.  Or it could be sensor specific, and needs to be tweaked for 
each sensor.  Anyway, it is a responsible position....
we know and acknowledge the problem, we have a fix, we have a solution, and 
we will make sure our customers are taken care of.

2) Looks like no bending on the IR filter....  I would like to see it 
incorporated into the sensor glass plate... looks like Solms
disagrees ( I will allow that I do not understand the complete complexities 
of this issue, and a sensor cover fix may not be
possible.. notice I said possible, not practical....).... At least all you 
guys and gals will get 2 filters... best pick
wisely.....!

3) 30% Discount on a new lens is nice, 30% off what you already paid for an 
M8 would be nicer.....( or its equivalent.... )


Very responsible......
