Dear colleagues, 

I have a possibility to purchase Leica M9 with CCD ID 15 sensor, I did ask owner to send me photo at f16 to check the sensor. Foto is attached. Can you please help me to define if the group of points seen in the middle of the picture and upper left corned are sensor corrosion? According to the info I have there should be no corrosion with CCD ID 15 or 16.

Thank you,

Janez

No corrosion, CCD ID 15 sensor was just very dirty. Bought the camera for 1500 USD.

Looks like corrosion to me. Ask Leica and send them a DNG, they can tell you for sure. Or give them the serial number and ask if the sensor has been replaced with the new one.

Camera came back from Leica technician, no corrosion and sensor is clean now. I did check with Germany, Wetzlar, sensor CCID ID 5 was replaced by CCD ID 15 some years ago. Shutter has 19900 actuations.

CCD ID 15, as shown in the OP, is the new v2 sensor...

I spoke with a Leica technician, CCD ID 15 may be an indication, but it is not a guarantee that the sensor has been replaced. If you don't get the confirmation from Leica that it has been replaced, I would not buy the camera.

In the 10 years since the 'new' sensor was released this is the first time I have ever read anyone, anywhere, suggest that the 'CCD ID15' identification does not indicate a v2 sensor and, as my camera was affected by the issue, I have been paying a great deal of attention.

I'm not saying that the Leica technician is definitely mistaken but I would be extremely surprised to learn that he or she was / is correct (and that's an understatement).

For those of us who lived with and through this, the facts are starting to bend through the fog of time!
