Hi everyone, long time between posts... just got an email from Leica concerning changes to the M9 corroded sensor replacement program:
Latest information concerning the CCD sensors of the Leica M9 / M9-P / M Monochrom and M-E camera models
Following the successfully begun and largely completed replacement programme for corroded sensors that affected M9, M9-P, M Monochrom and M-E camera models, we would now like to inform you about how this programme will be handled in the future.
Until 15 August 2017, we will continue to offer free replacement of sensors for these camera models if they are affected by the corrosion problem. This will also apply after 16 August 2017 for the models listed above, but only in cases where the cameras have been purchased as new products within the last five years.
From 16 August 2017, and until further notice, we will offer our customers the following new programme for all camera models mentioned above that were purchased longer than five years ago. Here, the customer pays a share of the replacement costs for the affected CCD sensor amounting to 982 euros (825 euros plus 19% VAT). Included in this programme is a free general overhaul* of your Leica M camera and a one year warranty on the same terms as for new products. This offer expresses our commitment to conserving the value of your camera.
We have also revised our upgrade offers with more attractive terms for our customers. Instead of a sensor replacement, we offer our customers the alternative option of sending us their camera affected by sensor corrosion in part payment for the purchase of selected Leica M camera models of the Type 240 generation at even more attractive terms. Leica Customer Care will be pleased to inform and advise interested customers about the terms and conditions of the upgraded offer.
With regard to the above, we would like to remind you that the replacement of CCD sensors and the upgrade offers apply only to cameras affected by this concrete problem, and only to the models of the Leica M-System we have listed above. Preventive replacement of sensors is not included in this programme.
*The general overhaul of the Leica M-camera includes the following items:
• Cleaning and overhaul of the shutter cocking mechanisms
• Cleaning and maintenance/repair of the multifunction wheel
• Cleaning of the main switch and shutter speed dial
• Adjustment of the baseplate locking system
• Refurbishment of engravings
• Renewal of the protective film on the baseplate
• Maintenance/repair of viewfinder displays
FWIW, I still have my M9, it has a corroded sensor and I still haven't done anything about it.... since it was bought over 5 years ago, it looks like I need to get moving on it before mid-August...

Hey Zhangue lovely Venice images - looks like we may have been there at the same time. My Venice experience this year was magic as usual despite not having visited for nearly 10 years. All taken with the Leica M10 and Zeiss ZM35/2.8, 28/2.8 and Konica Hexanon 90/2.8

With a quick mask you can select even a very small area and unlike burn and dodge you have every contrast and adjustments that you have in photoshop available and can effect just that deleted area, Way different than a burn or a dodge.

airfrogusmc - Same thing using the Radial Filter (an awkward name for this tool) for creating a mask in Lightroom — I was calling this "dodging snd burning" because of the function equivalence when making a darkroom print.
But Silver Efex creates the look organically. In my example of the picture I discussed, this would have to be done for perhaps 20-30 areas and done individually to reproduce what Silver Efex has done — that is not practical; nor could one visualize what one wanted to do in so many areas. The tonal effects of Silver Efex are similar to what film does, also, organically. Keep in mind though that, if you scan or digitalize film, applying Silver Efex will also give better results than using PS or LR alone:that's because the second part of a "hybrid workflow" is, after all, digital.

Good to see you Ron. It's been a long time.
No issue for me, since my camera changes a new sensor after each shot

So are you committing to film for a while Edward? Do you still have the M262?

A walk along the coast from Capel-Le-Ferne to Dover. Not exactly my sort of image, but I thought the lighting interesting, and it's part of a memory for me.
