[Leica] sensor corrosion

[John McMaster]

My 2010 M9, 2012 MM and 2009(?) S2-P have all had sensor corrosion. The latter two had their sensors replaced FoC and still thinking about what to do with my M9..... Europe does not seem to offer a trade to the M(246) so will probably just have a new M9 sensor fitted...

Shoot a plain coloured area out of focus  at f16  so as to give a Zone VI or so.

This is what my S2 looked like, can send you images from M9 and MM if wanted ;-)

I finally woke up to the possibility that this may be an issue with my M9 and my M monochrome. Bob Adler has been very kind in helping with some of the issues, and answering my questions.


Has this been a common problem? Can one search for damage with a slate grey sky instead of blue? What sort of refund can one expect if damage is found? I assume the 246 is the trade in option for the monochrome, what is the trade in option for the M9?


Other observations and your thoughts are appreciated.


many thanks,

Steve
