Dear all,

Suddenly today I got a strange vertical row of "dead" pixels. Although perhaps not exactly dead - see pics.

On a white background they look sort of black but with the lens cap on they got colors....

Question of course what to do? Will this be an expensive repair. I can get used to it and use the TL2 as is 😉

Cheers, Arnold

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

I'd call Leica and see what the cost is to remap the sensor. A couple of years ago I had some electronic work done on my CL, the EVF to LCD transfer wasn't working and the cost was $450, this doesn't require disassembly so it may not be too expensive. Just Googled TL2s and they are going from $1000 to $3000 without lenses.

Sorry, but for clarification: this is an issue solely with the display or does this show up in the image file also? 
 

Thanks

Solely with the display. Not the evf nor the image

Leica has stopped producing all crop cameras, but the ones that have been produced are also dying. The deaths start with the screen.

My TL2.
