Advertisement Posted May 23 Posted May 23 Hi Kiwimac, Take a look here Leica M11-P Safari. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Kiwimac Posted May 23 Share #222 Posted May 23 Looking good. Very happy with the colour in person. With the brass/black chrome Apo Summicron 50mm mounted it’s a pretty solid unit since the camera is also brass. Probably get a grip for it. Welcome, dear visitor!

Silver aluminium without the logo are £35GBP. Edited May 23 by pedaes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwimac Posted May 23 Share #224 Posted May 23 I’ll have to try and find one overseas: they don’t feature on the NZ site and even B&H didn’t seem to have any. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

justj Posted May 23 Share #226 Posted May 23 Has anyone with the M11-P Safari had the chance to inspect their sensor under a torch? I recently noticed a few specks of dust appearing on Live View, so I opened the shutter and used a blower to clear them. Under a table lamp, I spotted some dust along with a white line—while the dust was easily removed, the line remained. Could it be a scratch? I wondered, though I had never opened the shutter until now. To investigate further, I took some macro shots, and it seems the white line is on the sensor itself, rather than the filter above it. In the attached image, you can see 4 dust on the top of the filter, and just millimeters below, the white line is visible and appears to be on the sensor itself. Although it is about 5mm long it doesn't really affect the picture at all. Does anyone have any idea what this might be, and how I should proceed with Leica? Welcome, dear visitor!

lct Posted May 23 Share #227 Posted May 23 Advertisement (gone after registration) I would not touch the sensor with anything if you don't want to take the risk of voiding the warranty. I would just ask Leica what to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted May 23 Share #232 Posted May 23 If enlarged it looks more like a smear than a scratch. Consult Leica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, it's either beneath the filter or sitting on the sensor itself. Unlike surface dust, it’s practically invisible unless you shine a light directly onto it.

As mentioned before it doesn't affect picture at all, you can only notice it if you are really looking for it even at f16. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, that would bother me even if it only showed up in those circumstances. If it were me, I would still try the wet swab cleaning just in case it really is on the surface but it can only be seen via reflection off the sensor. An exchange from the Leica dealer might be the smartest thing to do, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, or to put it another way, you’re right! A sad decline in standards, another example being something that has become fashionable: not pronouncing T at the end of a word, where Community becomes communiee.
