Advertisement Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 Hi mattnnz, Take a look here Leica X1 problem. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
mattnnz Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share #2 Â Posted November 29, 2012 Also this happens above F6 or so. Has anyone had any experience with this. How much will it cost to repair? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted November 29, 2012 Share #3 Â Posted November 29, 2012 Are you showing the full-frame? Looks like a mixture of debris. Does it change position with continual use? Have you operated the camera in a particularly hostile (dirty) environment? Has it suddenly happened? What is the history of the camera? Have you owned it from new? If so, when did you first notice the debris? Â Sorry about the barrage of questions, but answers to them might help diagnosis. Â It is common for small dust specks to appear, from time to time, sucked in by the extending lens action. In my experience they disappear, but your camera has more than I have seen reported. Â The shapes seem to have some consistency which suggests a particular form of chaff or insect invasion. Cleaning could be costly and would probably not be worthwhile unless you identify and eradicate the cause which could afflict you a second time.

mattnnz Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share #4 Â Posted December 3, 2012 That is the full frame showing a piece of white paper these stay and don't move. Every F setting above F5 but are slightly visible at lower F settings. I have had it in Vietnam since new 2 years ago. My friend warned me to get a dry box but I out it off thinking a fixed lens camera didn't share this risk with an SLR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted December 3, 2012 Share #5 Â Posted December 3, 2012 Seems like a workshop repair is needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted December 3, 2012 Share #6 Â Posted December 3, 2012 Sent it for repair asap. It's not uncommon to find a speck of dust but this looks rather more serious Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
