At last! Leica has added the M10 to their CCD corrosion upgrade program. We have been patiently waiting for a while, and now owners of CCD cameras affected by the corrosion issue have the option to upgrade to […]

Arnold, from what I understand the corrosion issue will affect all, or nearly all, full-frame-CCD-based M cameras. The timing with which corrosion happens seems to be somewhat random, same with the severity of it. I have noticed that the less a camera is used, the more likely it is to suffer from corrosion. Leica can replace the CCD if you so desire. This is done under warranty if the camera is less than five years old, but there is a charge (determined by Leica and it does vary sometimes) if the camera is older than 5 years. Depending on the severity of the corrosion and your own plans, you do have a few options to either upgrade, exchange the sensor or simply continue shooting as-is.

Richard, I cannot seem to duplicate the issue on the Q I have here with firmware 3.0 installed. If I press and hold the FN button then select Exp. Comp as the function I want, the button stays that way unless I reset the camera to factory default, or select “Default Profile” from the User Profile menu (which is basically the same as resetting the camera). Feel free to give us a call this week and we are happy to help at 305-921-4433 or email me at josh@leicastoremiami.com

    Bit of an embarrassing situation: I have both M10 and M10R, and I just realised in the previous round of upgrade I applied, I applied carelessly the M10R update to both. So now my M10 was on 20.20.47.37, and has been running that way, but while it lets me upgrade to the new 30.22.11.52 and still runs (!) it would not take the proper M10 distribution 3.22.11.52 (maybe because 30>3?). Any suggestion welcomed

They are the same. Leica changed the name of the mount when the T (Typ 701) was renamed the TL. Then came the SL, then the CL. They all have the L mount. T mount was confusing. The original Leica M Adapter-T is functionally the same as the current Leica M Adapter-L.
