    J,

    +1 for Leica service, they are the best I have ever dealt with.

    Very pro consumer!

    Maybe you could post a 100% crop to show what the spots look like for future reference?

    I've never heard about this on an S sensor before, but knowing the M9 sensor is from the same period and manufacturer, maybe this could be expected. Anyway, I hope you'll get your camera back ASAP!

    Funny how I am a…[Read more]

    WoW J,

    Looks like trouble. Did you send the camera in to Leica?
    I sincerely hope that this works out for you.

    Best,

    Jheroun started the topic Sensor de-lamination in the forum S2 11 years, 1 month ago

    Sent my S2 in for a sensor cleaning and just received a call to inform me that the source of the spots was not dust or oil droplets (common with certain Nikons, et al) but flakes from the sensor coating. They pointed out that the de-lamination would not show up on the images, but still it is a major concern that must be dealt with. And utterly…[Read more]
