Again the face to the customer seems important. Not sure what model they run but it seems the CH management can learn a bit from the US. It is actually rare you see five one-stars, so maybe there really is something to follow up on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanD Posted November 7, 2018 Share #23 Posted November 7, 2018 I got the official word from Leica: “The replacement CCD sensors should not corrode.” 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn’t think the original would fail, based upon the knowledge gained from that failure and the M9 failures they redesigned the sensor. Who knows if there is a new bug to be discovered years from now? But at least in the present we know that Leica did indeed replace the sensor with something new.

John McMaster Posted November 8, 2018 Share #26 Posted November 8, 2018 Being pedantic, it is actually the sensor cover glass that caused the corrosion so that is what has been re-designed rather than the actual sensor. john (M9, original Monochrom and S2-P all with sensor replacements) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it is a difference in when the sensor was changed. Mine was replaced in 2014 My Q: Also to clarify, is the 2014 sensor similar to my M9-corrosion resistant sensor? Or is the 2014 sensor still at risk for corrosion and similar to the original S006 sensor? Leica NJ A: The replacement CCD sensors should not corrode.

jpk Posted November 12, 2018 Share #29 Posted November 12, 2018 My 006 is on the way to Germany for sensor replacement because of corrosion. I was told that it's for free if your camera is less than 5 years old and that the replacement sensor is a redesigned component. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
