Leica M9 FF-CCD corrosion on sensors

[SYD_TRIBE]

Has anyone had their MM sensor replaced only to have corrosion or other sensor issues after?

I’ve been advised by Camera Clinic in Melbourne that my MM indeed has the corrosion issue.

They’ve offered to replace the sensor free of charge or upgrade to Monochrom Type 246 AUD 5046.00 inc GST.

I only purchased my MM in April 2014 and really don’t want to give up on it so quickly but on the other hand, don’t want to go with a new sensor only to have issues again in say the next 12 months.

Curious to know if anyone has had any subsequent issues after their sensor has been replaced.

Too soon to tell - but should the problem recur, the sensor will be exchanged for free again.

Does anyone have any picture examples of the corrosion?
I think my M9 has it and want to be sure before sending it to Leica for repair.

Just take the picture of the sky at f16 or f22 and you will see..

The artifacts in affected regions often resemble an infestation of short, thin tubular worms superimposed on the image.
