Advertisement Posted April 17, 2022 Posted April 17, 2022 Hi HuntingSand, Take a look here S006 - I think my sensor is shot. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
LeicaR10 Posted April 17, 2022 Share #2 Posted April 17, 2022 HuntingSand, It could well be sensor corrosion. Initially, I thought it might be debris etc on your sensor. Experience says otherwise. If you are close to a Leica Store, you might take it to them for a good look. I don't remember if Leica still replaces the S006 sensors. You might talk options with the store as well. The camera system is worth keeping especially the S lenses. If the sensor is either to costly or cannot be replaced by Leica, the option is trade it if the store will take it and pick up a used S007 or SL2 w/S to L adapter (For example; Camera West in Rancho Mirage CA) that are going for very good prices these days. I know this isn't what you wanted to read. Perhaps others will offer you their sage advice. r/ Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailronin Posted April 17, 2022 Share #3 Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) Based on experience with my S(006)Which had the sensor replaced about 4 years ago, I believe you have sensor corrosion over pretty much the whole sensor. Leica no longer replaces the sensors on the Typ 6 as they don't have CCD sensors available. I've heard of third party exchanges but understand there have been mixed results with those attempts. Sorry for the bad news. On a positive note the S lenses work great with the S to L adapter on the SL2 series.

Leica replaced an S2-P sensor for me in December 2021. Have they run out since then? I'll ask my contact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I stand corrected. I had been told by NJ that sensors were no longer replaced, must have misunderstood. I guess they meant under warranty for no charge.

HuntingSand Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share #13 Posted April 17, 2022 Thanks everyone for your input and suggestions. The mystery is solved.

The real livewire bees that zip around those hives at the bottom of the watertower. The camera froze them in time and space, and during the processing of the files those spots appeared in the final image as if my sensor had been strewn with debris. Very disconcerting for a moment (I've dealt with sensor replacement on this body two years ago). 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailronin Posted April 17, 2022 Share #16 Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) That's GREAT news indeed!!! The dark center with halos looked like corrosion but it wouldn't have started that suddenly. Mine began with just a spot of two and then grew to cover the sensor. SO glad that's not the case with your camera.
