phantom Posted May 13, 2014 Share #1 Posted May 13, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have a leica me about a year ago, a friend recently pointed out to me a lot of spots on the photos as if they were dust, this happens especially when pointing to the sky and shooting with aperture f16 (I have a 50mm Summicron) you think it is the lens or the sensor dirty?:confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Hi phantom, Take a look here spots on the photo. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jcraf Posted May 13, 2014 Share #2 Posted May 13, 2014 That's almost certainly a dirty sensor. Your local dealer can clean it for you, or you can learn to do it yourself. There's a lot of advice on the subject on this forum. Just use the Search function. Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecar Posted May 13, 2014 Share #3 Posted May 13, 2014 Most likely dust on the sensor, indeed. DIY cleaning (with steady hands and the right tools) is rather straightforward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobey bilek Posted May 13, 2014 Share #5 Posted May 13, 2014 Do not make up your own tools or use what is around the house. All will either not work or damage the camera,serious damage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
friedeye Posted May 14, 2014 Share #6 Posted May 14, 2014 I don't think there's a digital M in the world that hasn't had a dirty sensor. They're especially bad when new. You need to learn how to clean it - there's plenty of info on how to do this on this site and others. You'll find, if you clean it once a month, that eventually (unless you live in windy, dusty conditions and change lenses often) the dust will become less frequent. After 2 years with an M9, I only need to clean my sensor once every 4-5 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yossarian123 Posted May 14, 2014 Share #7 Posted May 14, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just get in the habit of using my rocket blower once a week or so. Takes about 15 seconds, is 100% safe, and drastically reduces the number of "wet" cleanings I do throughout the year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
