[Leica] M9 not writing files

[john at chiaroscuro.co.nz (John McMaster)]

Just going through the shots, all the ones before and after were with the
50mm but all the shots I took with the 35mm f1.4 asph FLE were the ones
which failed..... 

Just tried the combination of that lens and card again with no issue, even
with the lens not fully locked (I know it was locked).

RMA raised and another SanDisk card being formatted in the camera.

thanks for comments
