freitz Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share #21 Posted October 3, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Have you heard about the lollipop? I used the lollipop last year big mistake. Anyways It not form cleaning. Just look under magnifier and didn't see anything on the sensor; Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Hi freitz, Take a look here White Line in some Photos. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Peter Kilmister Posted October 3, 2015 Share #22 Posted October 3, 2015 Without doubt it has to be associated with the sensor. I'd be surprised if Leica could mess up cleaning in their very sterile environment. However, I am not an expert. What do I know? We did have a blob on a sensor of my wife's V-Lux 20 that was sent back to Leica and it came back like new. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if something like a hot pixel or dead pixel would do something like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardkaraa Posted October 4, 2015 Share #24 Posted October 4, 2015 Pkilmister, It's the piece of chewing gum on a stick that Leica technicians use to grab the dust off your sensor. And people wonder why the sensor is dirtier after the cleaning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if something like a hot pixel or dead pixel would do something like this. So it's not a cleaning Mark. It doesn't look like a stuck column either. I guess it may be a defect in the sensor cover coatings or similar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

freitz Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share #28 Posted October 4, 2015 I think so. I wonder if they can fix that locally state side or it goes back to Germany. Going to shoot them an email see what they suggest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECohen Posted October 4, 2015 Share #29 Posted October 4, 2015 Have you heard about the lollipop? I have....... I saw the Leica video of them cleaning a sensor. I assume, if they are using that tool they know what they are doing ? In their hands its the best tool for the job . And Leica sends me back a clean sensor ? Is that not true? Seriously I'm not doubting you but I have not seen anything on this forum to indicate you shouldn't let Leica clean your sensor. Did they ruin your sensor? Has anyone had their sensor ruined by letting a Leica tech clean it? Currently I clone out dust and rarely shoot at f/16 ....a little dust isn't a problem its a fact of digital photography. I figure when the camera gets too dirty I'll sent it back to the experts ...Leica Am I wrong? Is there a better way than the manufacture to get my camera serviced? (not cheaper better) So you know I never take my car to the manufacture but I see that as a different situation All thoughts welcome Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted October 4, 2015 Share #30 Posted October 4, 2015 I think so. me too... is a matter for Leica CS at factory , and it's under warranty... be prepared to a not quick return, but it will be fixed... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. I am looking into a backup camera as we speak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freitz Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share #32 Posted June 1, 2016 So after having zero issues for months this white line appeared again along with a solid black line. Below is an attached photo which shows both. Let me know if this image does not work. L1006808-Edit-2-Edit by Fred Reitz, on Flickr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And people wonder why the sensor is dirtier after the cleaning. Actually, the lollipop system (I use the Eyelead stick) works very well for me. I suspect that dust elsewhere in the camera gets stirred up during transport. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freitz Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share #35 Posted June 1, 2016 Pixel lines again... Is that what you think? Damn. It's weird because the white line is in the exact same spot before they replaced the sensor. The black line is entirely new. I played with the image in lightroom, photoshop, and the Nik collection. Its visible in all my software which leads me to believe it has to be sensor related. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freitz Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share #36 Posted June 24, 2016 Pixel lines again... Jaapv or anyone really. After some testing. I have a second M240 right now and it also shows the lines only when using the FLE 35 Summilux, it does not show those lines on every picture on at F 5.6 and usually at pictures of a blue sky. What is also interesting is the lines do not show up on the 50. It seems the black line was a one time deal so I am more concerned with the white line in the middle. In the new M240 the only thing that I did not change was the 35 Summilux and the SD card. Could it be the lens that is causing this? I would think that would mean it would be in every picture? If anyone could provide some insight that would be great thank you. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freitz Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share #37 Posted June 24, 2016 Has anyone seen issues like this before resolved by switching memory cards? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodies Posted June 24, 2016 Share #38 Posted June 24, 2016 Worth a try, but one would expect to see an error message about a write failure (how does this work on a M-D?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freitz Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share #39 Posted June 24, 2016 Worth a try, but one would expect to see an error message about a write failure (how does this work on a M-D?) the only other logical explanation is it is something with the lens... Which I would find hard to believe. Impossible to be present in the exact same spot on two different M240's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodies Posted June 24, 2016 Share #40 Posted June 24, 2016 If it's the lens you could rotate the line by tilting the camera um. Maybe not Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
