\"I just trust Leica to get it right. Sure, there was that whole IR debacle with the M8, but we can blame Kodak for that, and, with the filters the image quality was (and still is) excellent.\"

They blame Kodak for not testing their camera before release?


... I also find it strange that Kodak, as a film and sensor manufacturer, did not see this happening.


I guess that would depend on what Kodak\'s exact role in the design of the filter pack used was for the specific application of the M8. Don\'t most camera companies make the choice of filter pack themselves and not the sensor supplier? Ultimately, it\'s up to the camera maker to do any final QA/ control before release. It was a major blunder that I don\'t believe Leica is justified in passing the buck onto one of their suppliers. The upside I guess is that hopefully Leica does some pretty major testing before release after that incident. I think with the M, they know it must be right/ glitch free upon release since it\'s such a visible product that will appeal to help broaden their market.
