Help I have found a used M-E I may purchase

I have found a used Leica M-E with what I think is the original sensor. The price seems reasonable, and the camera seems to be in good repair. The camera has not been CLA'ed by Leica. I'm a little concerned about the possibility of sensor problems. Does anyone have a feel for what percent of M9/M-E sensors have had to be replaced due to corrosion problems?

There is a chance it will suffer from corrosion. But if it does Leica will replace the sensor with one which will not corrode and CLA it at the same time. Apparently they have said they will do this for ten years but my local dealer has said that in private they have said they will do this for life. I wouldn't let it put me off buying one.

 

Enjoy your new camera
