After this mail I will try to search the announcement for the MM Cheers Lluis > El 13 mar? 2016, a les 0:53, Tina Manley <tmanley at gmail.com> va > escriure: > > Lluis - > > This is the latest news I can find on Leica's site: > > https://us.leica-camera.com/World-of-Leica/Leica-News/About-Leica-News/Global/2015/Latest-information-CCD-sensors > > Maybe they have finished all of the testing? > > > Tina > > On Sat, Mar 12, 2016 at 5:01 PM, lluisripollphotography < > lluisripollphotography at gmail.com> wrote: > >> Tina >> >> As far as I know the new replaced sensors for the M9 and MM will be not >> affected by corrosion.
