Leica M8 & SD Card Speed Test

  • I need extra memory cards...
  • Using fully charged battery
  • SD cards formatted prior to test
  • From first actuation to fully written to card (red light stops blinking)
  • Time for one actuation (RAW + JPG Fine)
  • Time for ten actuations (RAW + JPG Fine)
  • Delkin PRO SDHC 8GB Class 6 = 9s/73s
  • Sandisk Ultra II SDHC 2GB Class 4 = 8s/68s
  • Sandisk Extreme III SDHC 4GB Class 6 = 7s/67s
  • Current Price for 8GB cards on Amazon:
  • Delkin - £16.33
  • Sandisk Ultra II - £12.49
  • Sandisk Extreme III - £20.00
  • Conclusion - I can live with Sandisk Ultra II speed and price combination

Camera: Kodak Instamatic 100


Lens is 43mm @ f/11 with shutter speeds of 1/40 or 1/90.

I found a sealed packet of Kodacolour 200 film in the loft. It was in the 126 cartridge format and dated use by 1993. I have no idea if is still usable but for 99p I bought a Kodak Instamatic 100 camera on eBay and will give it a go. If it doesn't work I will load a colour 35mm film into the cartridge (in the darkroom of course) and use it that way. There is a film loading how-to guide on YouTube.

Digital Grey Kard

Finally after waiting three weeks for delivery my 'Grey Card' arrived. So now I can achieve better white balance from my RAW files.
