jaapv Posted November 16, 2014 Share #21 Posted November 16, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) No, it is a percentage. On the original pixel mapping the number of pixels varies, so the number of pixels that can be remapped varies per sensor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bocaburger Posted November 16, 2014 Share #22 Posted November 16, 2014 Regardless, hard number or percentage, an in-camera utility would access the same data from the camera that Leica's in-house utility does, and then make the same calculation and determination. There is far more complex computing going on in the M240 every time you switch it on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHAG Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share #23 Posted November 27, 2014 Story continues. Leica has to destroy the crocodile skin I had professionnally applied by Leica Lisse, Leica dealer in The Netherlands. That skin costs 350 USD. Leica needs to destroy it, all this on a brand new camera that should NOT have a faulty sensor out of the box on the first place. Really pissed off now…:mad: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHAG Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share #25 Posted November 27, 2014 I can understand your frustration, but leatherettes are destroyed and replaced every time a camera is serviced, from my understanding. Why would you use crocodile skin on a camera anyway? False : Leica dealer who properly installed the new skin removed professionnally the Leica leatherette and gave it back to me : it's like new. If one wants to do things properly, it can be done properly. Why a skin ? Because I develop strong rashes by simple contact with some plastics… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted November 27, 2014 Share #26 Posted November 27, 2014 But it will still be stretched here and there and have a less-than-perfect fit, to put it mildly, reason that Leica CS will not return it. Will van Manen (who does such things for Henny Hoogeveen as far as I am aware), just confirmed that to me. Leather will come of completely destroyed.

edwardkaraa Posted November 27, 2014 Share #28 Posted November 27, 2014 That's a very unfortunate incident, but honestly, to be expected. Leica will replace the leatherette every time the camera is serviced, that's a known fact. It would have been a good idea to write a note to CS to be extra careful with the leather skin.

JHAG Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share #29 Posted November 27, 2014 No. I insisted so much finally a more seasoned techician found a way to adjust sensor without touching skin. When you want and try, you succeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted November 27, 2014 Share #30 Posted November 27, 2014 Most of my cameras are reskinned. Leica CS is apologetic to the point of throwing in courtesy A-La-Carte skin sometimes when opening up one of them, but assures me that it is completely impossible to reuse old ones. Having recovered more than half a dozen cameras myself, I would call that accurate. It is even rare to remove a skin in one piece. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted November 27, 2014 Share #31 Posted November 27, 2014 No.I insisted so much finally a more seasoned techician found a way to adjust sensor without touching skin. When you want and try, you succeed. Completely impossible. See Mark Norton's anatomy thread. More likely the sensor did not need adjusting after all, and all adjustments were made to the rangefinder mechanism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHAG Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share #34 Posted January 3, 2015 New episode : after all, the line on sensor has never been properly repaired. It's back again, on pictures taken in quite "normal" lighting (no front lighting, no low lighting, just plain daylight). And Leica overcharged the general bill for fixing 2 other bodies and 2 other cameras by 340 euros : 1170 euros paid when their estimate signed was for 770 euros. After I called them quite incensed, they promptly refunded the overcharge. Quite unfortunate, to say the least. Anyway, the camera has to go back to Wetzlar for the second time in 6 weeks.

JHAG Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share #35 Posted January 4, 2015 For Leica, this is a repaired sensor on a brand new camera. Welcome, dear visitor!
