[Leica] Sensor corrosion?

[Douglas Barry]

While I tend to agree with you, Nathan - certainly on the M9 and MM - I 
probably will buy an M240 in the next couple of years.  That said, German 
engineering is taking a pasting at this moment, but the great thing is the 
Germans tend to learn from their mistakes.
