Sensor check.

Hi there. Quick question. Is there a way to check an M9P I have to ensure it has a new sensor. I’m sure it was changed by the dealer prior to sale but I can’t find the documents. I’m thinking of trading it in and the next dealer wants to know if it’s been done. I know you can check with Leica but if there’s a quick way it would be handy for now. Regards Robin.

If the dealer cannot tell if it has a new sensor, then go to another dealer.

Difficult to just go to another dealer when that one has a camera you want. I’ll just phone Leica Customer Service.

Write a mail to leica with the serial number and you got the answer. I‘ve done this for a monochrom 2 day‘s ago with leica switzerland. Got an answer in approx. 2 hour‘s.

Changing the sensor doesn‘t mean that they took the new sensor...... It could be the old type....

If the change was post end-2015, I doubt they would have used an old one. Did your answer from Leica just say "yes"? Or "Yes the sensor was changed on xx-xx-201* ?

The sensor of the Monochrom I was interested was NEVER changed before. Still the old one.

Hi there. Thanks for the information but a quick call to Leica customer service in London and they sent me an email with the service history of all three of my cameras. Great service from them.
