[Leica] A bit OT, but I need advice

[hlritter at bex.net (Howard L Ritter Jr)]

I recently had the experience of killing a spider with my Nikon D810A. 

Unfortunately, it was accomplished by the shutter, which smeared it all over 
the sensor and dismembered it. The arachnid had obviously crawled into the 
body while it was sitting sans lens, and made its presence known in the form 
of a black shadow in the next image taken. Taking off the lens and raising 
the mirror revealed the story.

I think that, in addition to a sensor cleaning, it is likely that the 
shutter will need cleaning as well, and spider parts to be removed from 
wherever they?ve ended up (the body did not fall out of the mirror box when 
my son opened it up). This will require professional servicing. Any and all 
advice on where (not) to send it would be appreciated. I can Google it, but 
nothing beats personal testimonials.

Thanks,
