Advertisement Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 Hi lykafile, Take a look here Sending in M9 for sensor corrosion. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
brunozulian Posted October 13, 2016 Share #22 Posted October 13, 2016 Hi Everybody! Leica announced a deadline for sending the M9? I ask because my sensor already has the corrosion, but still not much affect the performance of my photos. I'm afraid to send next year and receive a negative response from Leica. Thank youBruno Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted October 14, 2016 Share #23 Posted October 14, 2016 Hi Everybody! Leica announced a deadline for sending the M9?

Thank you Bruno They were quite explicit about there being no deadline. They also recommended getting in touch before sending the camera in; this would enable them to allocate a time slice for you in advance, so that the actual repair could be done within a short time.

uhoh7 Posted October 15, 2016 Share #24 Posted October 15, 2016 There is a poll running on another site regarding the sensor corrosion problem. Currently about 70 are reporting no corrosion while 40 have experienced it. So a lot of bodies seem to be unaffected. Me? I'm o for two. Mine seems fine after over 100K clicks. It did have a new sensor in 2013 (previous owner). They did see it in 2015 when the shutter failed. Sensor was fine, they said. I am in Idaho, where it is not humid, but the camera does go in and out of the cold often. Dealing with Leica NJ was crazy. Took about 2 months for the shutter. But I had so many conflicting stories when I called them to check on the camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Ricard Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share #25 Posted October 18, 2016 It's been about 11 days and I haven't heard a thing from Leica. I called a few days ago, but they said the camera had not been logged in the system yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikau Posted October 18, 2016 Share #26 Posted October 18, 2016 Mine went to Germany four weeks ago. Receipt information from Leica gave no time estimate, but the dealer said it will probably take five to six months. If so, you people waiting "eight weeks" should consider yourselves fortunate!

just4fun Posted October 18, 2016 Share #27 Posted October 18, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I sent mine mid July, got it back yesterday (oct 17) with new sensor and working perfectly. So in my case, 3 months. Very happy with Leica NJ. Sonny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
microview Posted November 17, 2016 Share #28 Posted November 17, 2016 Even better for UK owners: mine is back today and was sent to Germany 29th September. New firmware 1.210 (which apparently recognises the new Summaron lens). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianman Posted November 17, 2016 Share #29 Posted November 17, 2016 And that firmware is available here: http://uk.leica-camera.com/Service-Support/Support/Downloads?category=93710&subcategory=93713&type=108942&language=93871 M9/M9-P/M-E Firmware Version 1.210 M Monochrom Firmware Version 1.016 The following improvements are included in these firmware updates: Support of the new lens:Leica Summaron-M 28 mm f/5.6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregm61 Posted November 17, 2016 Share #30 Posted November 17, 2016 That's interesting, and may cloud over one's ability to tell if an M9 for sale has had the sensor replaced or not. To this point it's been easy. If the camera firmware is 1.204 you know it has the updated sensor. Now, with 1.21 I guess M9's with the original or new sensor will be able to update, making it harder for any prospective buyer to know if the sensor in the camera is the updated one or not.
