[Leica] Leica M8 and M9 Sensor Problems?

[Tina Manley]

No signs of sensor damage with my MM.  I don't use liquid cleaners and try
to keep it in a dry environment.  At least Leica is now replacing the
sensor at no charge no matter how old the camera is and I'll bet they come
up with a permanent fix soon.  I still love my MM and would never give it
up.
