[Leica] Have any of you had this happen with the M8?

[len-1 at comcast.net (Leonard Taupier)]

Jeffery,

I have an Ultra II 2G that works in my M8 but not in my card reader.  
I changed readers and now everything is fine. I think Howard had a  
problem with the Ultra II 2G card.

I have a Extreme III 2G that worked for 2 days. Then one time my M8  
says it is full when I know it isn't. When I try to format it in the  
camera the light just blinks forever. Also my card reader can't  
recognize it.

I'm now using an inexpensive 150X Transend card. Works like a champ.  
I'm going to send the Extreme III back to SanDisk. I don't think  
Leica's approved list means anything.
