As I understand it, in some cases manufacturers do not always fully comply
to the standard with some cards. That may be a contributory factor in some
instances. Another is that some cards are commonly counterfeited. These is
not unique to Leicas. Try a search on this with the big brands.

Leica Camera is currrently developing new firmware for the M9 . Its main
purpose is to address write problems that were reported by some users in
some circumstances. I've never seen problems personally. The new firmware
is currently in beta test and we should see a final version available after
those results are looked at.



Cheers
Geoff
