[Leica] M8 problem - scratch across frame

[mark at whitedogs.co.uk (Mark Pope)]

Neil,

is it a vertical line that runs down the frame?  there is a problem with 
some M8s where they show a vertical line which is about 1 pixel wide 
which is (IIRC) associated with a dead pixel on the sensor.  It usually 
becomes mre obvious at higher ISOs.  It may mean a visit to Leica for 
repair.  Hope you have a warranty...

best wishes



Mark
