Subject: [Leica] Sensor corrosion?

The S2 Kodak sensor is slightly different to the M9 and I think it is a
different covering glass... Some people have reported issues, but even
allowing for the difference in numbers sold I would say it is less of an
issue with the S2?

If you Google... Leica M9 corrosion... You will see several images of the
corrosion.

I would like to repeat that the M9 corrosion was due to the coating on the
sensor glass. Would they have specified the same glass/ coating on the S
sensors?  Maybe?

John I really think so. Were I in your place I might contact Wetzlar with
the screen grabs and get the camera to them ASAP to get this resolved. I am
sure tht you have followed a careful cleaning routine and so this will not
go away or get better. I would be surprised if Leica Camera don't do there
best to resolve this as soon as possible for you (as they should with a
defect of course).
If you haven't visited the new Leitz Park? If not and it is practical you
might take it in person and get the tour too!
