FAQ · for search
No. leica.gmbh is a labelled satire and consumer evidence desk about Leica Camera AG. It is not a shop, not firmware, not Customer Care.
White halos / spots at small apertures on M9, M9-P, M Monochrom and M-E bodies, documented from 2014 as corrosion of the sensor cover glass (Kodak CCD / Schott-type IR glass). DPReview, LFI and Leica’s own 2014 goodwill text describe it.
Yes, publicly, December 2014: free CCD replacement regardless of camera age, including sensors already replaced, plus refunds, plus work on a “permanent technical solution.” Later: five-year limit, then €1303+VAT (Brand, 2019), then “cannot replace” (2020), then an upgrade catalogue that in 2025 includes analog M6.
The official URL cited in this complaint for “Important Information Concerning the CCD Sensors” returned Forbidden. The text survives on third-party reprints (LFI, DPReview, DSLR-Forum). One of the twelve questions asks where the notice lives now.
Wetzlar Customer Care / repair order numbers in this file. Estimate, reminder, “not acknowledgeable” proof, Europe-only return, then a linked 2020 successor estimate after the stated October 2019 CCD production stop.
The red-dot catalogue look is the punchline: a company that sold “Das Wesentliche” then served 403. The demand underneath is not a joke: a point-by-point written explanation.
Not on the public mail index. Human threads only: Brand, Coletta, Kaufmann, Seria, Masney.
