silentwings Posted September 22, 2018 Share #1 Posted September 22, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just had my M9 back from NJ after spending 1K+ US dollars and wonder if anyone here has any sensor problem with this new sensor. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramarren Posted September 22, 2018 Share #2 Posted September 22, 2018 In the two-three years since the M9 replacement sensors have been being installed, I don't recall seeing a single post on any forum mentioning that the 'corrosion' problem has resurfaced. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gu_al Posted September 22, 2018 Share #3 Posted September 22, 2018 Apart from the green corners that some users are reporting when using it with wide angles such as 28mm Elmarit Asph and 24mm Elmar. Check the post about it here at the forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a green cornes with E28 before sensor replacement. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramarren Posted September 24, 2018 Share #5 Posted September 24, 2018 Color shifting like that has nothing to do with the sensor corrosion issue that the sensor was replaced for... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gu_al Posted September 24, 2018 Share #6 Posted September 24, 2018 Color shifting like that has nothing to do with the sensor corrosion issue that the sensor was replaced for... I agree. I hope it is something related with the new sensor having a slightly different coating and so requiring lens profile update, this could be (hopefully) solved in a future fw upgrade.

I've seen a few scares here an on another forum, but to my knowledge they have all been false alarms. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to know the new sensor is good so far. Now I can be relaxed and enjoy the simplicity with the outstanding image quality of the new CCD M9 sensor!

Ray Vonn Posted November 1, 2018 Share #9 Posted November 1, 2018 I've got a spot on my M-E which was sent to Germany which I'm 99% sure is dust. Tiny though and fixed with a click in PP. Doesn't prevent the magic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacramento Posted November 13, 2018 Share #10 Posted November 13, 2018 Two years since sensor replacement. M9 works perfectly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted November 13, 2018 Share #11 Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) My two M9 cameras have corrosion spots and I cope.. Rather than sending the cameras into dark months at Leica making them unavailable to me I have automated post-processing that fixes the spots in a second. Consider the same.

Merv-O Posted November 19, 2018 Share #12 Posted November 19, 2018 I had my M9 sensor replaced in 5/2017 and have about 2300 shots on it since then (I also have a Weather sealed Pentax K-1ii for inclement weather). I use it sparingly and lovingly as it is special, but I have had no problems with the replacement sensor. On a separate note, some of the white paint on the body has peeled off....is there a white touch up pen that any of you can recommend to fill in the crevices. it's minor issue because as you all know the sensor replacement has a complimentary CLA built in and other than these cosmetic issues it looks like it did 8 eight years ago (there's also minor brassing on the power switch but that's expected.)
