Sorry for the interuption. I bought an M9 from FM here and I was told the sensor was replaced and no corrosion. I thought everything was fine. I looked today to test the sensor from a tip I read where you point it at a sky, 50mm F22 and movie the camera for blur.

Looks more like sensor dirt. As far as I remember, corrosion traces were bigger and more diffuse.
I would clean the sensor using recommend procedure & tools and recheck after.
Looks like dust to me to. Question though did you get any actual documentation that the sensor had replaced? If not I think you can check with Leica to see if it was done.

Most looks like dust to me. Possibly the exception of the largest spot near the center of the image. That reminds me more of what I have seen with images exhibiting corrosion.

Given it is Father's Day, it was great to get my son's assistance with this one. I don't like the vape stuff he does, but we put it to use here
Yes have paperwork that Sensor was replaced but looks like it was an old replacement and still corroded. Its going to Leica in NJ and see what they say. Ive bad reviews about the customer service so I'll update with this experience.

Turn your camera to bulb mode, remove your lens, look at your sensor and click and hold down the shutter. You'll be able to tell if it's dust or sensor corrosion. Corrosion looks like bubbles of white glue that sit under a glass cover.. Dust looks like dust and will be on top of the sensor glass. Also dust can be blown off (would advise to put your camera to sensor clean mode for removal of dust tho so you don't have to hold the button down).
Also if I had to guess I'd say that based on your image you have at least two spots of sensor corrosion (the black spots with white rings look like sensor corrosion to me). The black spots with no white look like dust.
