CCD sensor

Hi guys,

I am not sure if this has been discussed before but I couldnt find the answer after going through many threads so i will just ask here:

"I have replaced the corroded sensor in 2018 (paid by myself as i missed the deadline) and so far all is well. However I am wondering if the new batch of  sensor Leica Germany has put on my M9 is also prone to corrosion, or the replacement is again prone to corrosion in a few years??"

 

Thanks,

I think the position is that in the early days they swapped the sensors like for like, then later the swapped them for non corroding sensors. My own experience bears this out. The sensor on my M9 was changed  before I owned it, then when I had some work done on the camera (not sensor related) they swapped it again in 2016. There was nothing wrong with my sensor so I can only presume they changed it to the newest batch as a precaution. I wasn’t charged.

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

If I remember correctly, replacements since June 2015 have been done using the new corrosion-free sensor.

please just email to leica center, software-support@leica-camera.com

they are very helpful and usually reply within 1-2 days. just send your serial number to make sure if your sensor is the new version. i check my several m9 and they say the new sensor will not correded like the previous version.

If the new sensor had been corrosion-prone the forum would have exploded already around this theme
