I admire your patience, perseverance and loyalty. I spoke with my local Leica repairman and he says that the sensor erosion issue is all about fungus. Fungus, as you are all itching to know, thrives on optical glass and more so at certain levels of humidity. We guys living in the humid tropical zone got big time fungus problem if we do not look after our lenses well. I guess they also love having a good time on sensor glass. I have no sensor problems with my Leica M cameras and that's because I use film. I also have no sensor problems on my VLux4 and my DLux cameras because they are all sealed in the factory. So I suspect that fungus like high society expensive cameras and are waiting to charge into the sensor area every time you change lenses. Just guessing only. That is all that I have to say. Have a nice weekend folks. Dan K.
