“Pitted sensor” wow Josh, that is one strong Rocket blower! 😉 Or it must be from one of those gorgeous models burning a hole in your sensor, David.
I agree that Leica has been very good, no EXTREMELY good at service of late. My S2 AF was out of calibration and was confirmed by my S2 rep Ben Ross, a week later a UPS shipping label came my way and all of my lenses and body went back to Solms for a calibration and check. It came back in perfect shape and no charge for the service. Never had that with Nikon, Hasselblad or Canon for any out of warranty repairs even when I was with NPS.
Leica has answered the call and improved the customer service experience in my view.
Must have been the rocket blower but just in case I’ve stopped cleaning my sensors with the gas station tire pumps. As for my models… they’re more likely to melt the lens;)
I know that heart sinking feeling of realizing there is a problem with your sensor. It’s even worse when you are the one that caused it. It will be a long time (if ever) before I will wet clean my S2 sensor again. I am glad your experience turned out so well.
I use the Panasonic EW-DJ10A for sensor cleaning. It reduces the chance for scratching by moistening as it pushes the dust away.
