How common is sensor corrosion, really? And should we be worried?

In any case, it is interesting to note that most sensor problems with M cameras have the same root cause: the short heritage register distance of the camera.

 

Ok, then. But what about all the other sensors in cameras with even shorter register distances (Sony, Olympus, Panasonic...)? They don't have that problem.

No, because they don't have to take heritage lenses, so by building telecentric lenses the incidence angle problems are avoided.

Note  for instance that the full-frame Sonys have trouble with wideangle Leica M lenses.

The problem is of course also avoided by smaller sensor sizes. An MFT sensor is a quarter off the size of a full-frame one, and register distance and sensor size are related.
