hundredwaters Posted October 30, 2019 Share #1 Posted October 30, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) So glad to have come across this forum. I just purchased a M9 Monochrom from BH Photo and have two question. 1) I was told it was “serviced” and a the sensor was replaced, although there is documentation of that. Does anyone know how I can verify this - Leica? In the camera? 2) What SD cards do users recommend with this - a specific model would be great. It sounds like there are potential issues, so I thought I would get expert opinion. I started with some cheap ones and do note that the camera can get caught up with transferring images and I miss a few shots. Thanks BS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleetenkiecker Posted October 30, 2019 Share #2 Posted October 30, 2019 Good evening hundredwaters, Congratulations to this wonderful Camera which I also use now since 4 Years. After Sensor replacement the new Firmware No. is 1.022. I was told that the new one works with this Upgrade only No. 2. I personally use a Scan Disk Extreme 16GB 45MB/sec. For me this combination works fine. To lern more about the MM1, please visit the Homepage of Thorsten von Overgaard he is a Danish Fotographer. Or Steve Huff, who has also an excellent Home Page. I wish you a lot of wonderful monochrome pictures. Besides also old Leica lenses like the summicron 2 rigid and the Elmar M 2,8 50 mm works quite good withe the M9M. Lot of Greetings from Andreas ( Fleetenkiecker ) , located Munich / Bavaria / Germany Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted October 30, 2019 Share #3 Posted October 30, 2019 Contact Leica Germany with the serial#. Early sensor replacements did not provide corrosion free sensors. For SD cards. this might help, albeit a bit dated... Or a call to a good dealer like Leica Miami will answer the question, and maybe cards in stock. Enjoy.

_Olivier Posted October 31, 2019 Share #4 Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) Regarding your first question: You can access a service menu by pressing the following with the camera powered on: Delete -> up (2x) -> down (4x) -> left (3x) -> right (3x) -> Info Then, in the menu, select hardware IDS. If CCD ID shows 53, the sensor has been replaced. if CCID shows 52, it has not. Edited October 31, 2019 by _Olivier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
