[Leica] M9/MM corrosion question......

[Herbert Kanner]

> The best bet, I think, is to have a camera store ship it to them. Then, have the store phone them whenever you’re tired of waiting and want to know the situation. From the latest info I have seen from Leica, they will replace the sensor it for free. It will take a while; they must have quite queue of them. It may help if you include in the shipment to them an SD card with the picture showing the damage. I think some of their techs must be both blind and lazy, because my camera just languished there until I sent them an SD card with a picture showing the problem.

I’m not going to bother asking about getting my M9 fixed until I have time to make fake letterhead, fake business cards, and a fake name for my post office box.
