So the new Leica M9 firmware is out.......
.....and, not of course that I would say "I told you so", but well, I told you so. As predicted in this post (yes, all the way back in Feb 2010), Leica have managed to significantly improve "red edge"/"Italian flag syndrome", but not completely eliminate it in all cases, even for modern Leica lenses. Take a look at the various posts on the Leica User Forum for the details.
On predictions, a second prediction I made at the time has also turned out - take a look at this interview with Dr. Andreas Kaufmann. "Q: Which is the best performing Leica product line? Dr.Kaufmann: Definitely the M9."
Unfortunately, the jury is still out on third prediction I made at the time - that the Leica S2, while a fine camera, would be a financial bust for Leica.
