Supposedly counterfeiting is a very large problem with flash memory. A friend brought over one of his Sandisk Extreme cards last year to compare with mine and we noticed that the printed patent numbers were different (not to mention a huge difference in write speed). So its not out of the question that what you have... is not what you have. Dave "Jeffery Smith" <jsmith342@cox.net> writes: > I got this response from Leica regarding the card/M8 issue.
