Sunyforreal Posted October 21, 2023 Share #1 Posted October 21, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Been on the hunt for one with ID 15 or newer sensor or Kolari replaced glass, with box and paperwork for a couple weeks now. Somehow, there isn’t one for sale on FM, r/photomarket, eBay, KEH, MPB, local FB marketplace, nothing. Where’d they all go! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're buying it for its aesthetics, then a dry cabinet is the best place for it - otherwise any other M9 with a new sensor would do, wouldn't it? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
costa43 Posted October 25, 2023 Share #5 Posted October 25, 2023 I just sold one via the FB classifieds. It was listed for weeks without much interest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point haha. Though if you’re buying it just for aesthetics, you’ll never notice the sensor corrosion anyway! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When one wants something long out of production, in a particular colour, in a particular spec, as a complete set then finding one within 2 weeks would be very good luck. Give or take one's personal colour preference (and black paint Leica things seem very popular) I suspect you're looking for the most desirable one too. Hang in there or widen your search criteria. I suspect the other challenge you might face is that in late 2023 anyone that has (what is arguably) the best M9, in the best colour, with a good sensor and all the original parts and packaging probably has it because they wish to keep it, it'll either be owned from new, sensor fixed by Leica and cherished or diligently sought out as some sort of camera grail and cherished Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

medved Posted December 2, 2023 Share #11 Posted December 2, 2023 I've got a black M9-P, looks new, replaced sensor, CLA in July, 2017. Leathertte also replaced then accounting for its fine condition. I just shoot mostly b&W with a Monochrom or an IFR camera, so it's time to move this on. I can send photos in a day or so if you're interested. Not many of these around.

Ah yes but I'll still only have a set of 3 because my most used one has started to malfunction, basically htis Wednesday whilst out shooting in the cold weather it was really struggling to re-cock the shutter making a weird motordrive sound and to stop it I had to remove the battery. Although once back in the house at room temperature it worked fine I can't trust it out in the cold so when @M9reno posted that link I thought it was fate so jumped on it. I can now look into the possibility of a service/repair of my old one whilst still having my 3 body set up. Of course I will have to re-shoot this. Welcome, dear visitor!

Glad to be of service, @Topsy. Out of curiosity, is your problematic M9 the same one that suffered the mishap on the top-plate some months ago?

No, the problematic one is the one on the left of these 3 the one I dropped the tripod on is working fine that is the one on the right (you can just make out the dent in the top plate lower right just beside the lens FL indicator (75)). BTW as the problematic one was working normally once back at home I tried to replicate the fault by leaving it in the cold (of a drinks cooler) like it was in on Wednesday and after 1 hour it was still fine but after a second hour it repeated the recocking issue so it is defiitely not well and doesn't like the cold.

Ahh it’s fine, enjoy it! I ended up moving on to something else. I may get a M9 one day in the future, but for now it’s not in the cards. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topsy Posted December 6, 2023 Share #19 Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) Just for info, the camera arrived today and all seems well, they included the paperwork from Leica Wetzlar certifying the replacement sensor so no issues there. The only thing is it looks like brand new (unlike my other 3 M9s) I shall be afraid to use it in case I ding it. 😉 I'll have to update my photo (Post 15).

Topsy Posted December 6, 2023 Share #20 Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) Not an update more of an ad-hoc shot of my M collection (now including the M9-P) taken on the D-Lux Typ109. I thought B&W would suit the theme. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!
