[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I found the Transcend 150X card on Amazon.com. Everyone seems to have good luck with them, so I'll order a few. At that price, if they don't work in the Leica, I have a few other digitals that can use them. Thanks again!!

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.
