Leica M9 Sensor Crack:

I was explaining what a sensor of a camera was to a friend today, and when I looked at the sensor of my Leica M9, I saw a crack.  I couldn’t believe my eyes especially since I was working on a project about a half hour before I saw the crack, and none of my photos show any indication of a problem.  I read about this on a forum, and other blogs but I never thought that it would happen to me.  I’ve had my Leica M9 for quite some time now with no issues whatsoever.  I don’t abuse my camera, and I never dropped it.

I called my dealer where I bought my Leica M9, and the owner Bob offered to take it in for me personally (Leica NJ is only a few minutes away from his house).  Hopefully, dealer backing will help me a little.  My family has been buying Leicas from this dealer (Bergen County Camera) for 30 years, and they’re the best.

Hmmm…Sell My Leica M9 And Fuji X100 For a Leica MP?:

It’s just a joke :).  I love my Leica M9, and I’m pretty sure that once it’s back from Leica NJ, it will work just fine.  But it’s funny; first, I find out that my M9 has a sensor crack after a shoot.  Since my M9 had a cracked sensor, I decided to take out my Fuji X100 to go street shooting around Avenue J in Brooklyn but then my battery dies because I forgot to charge it (my fault, not the camera’s).  Luckily, I brought my Leica M6, which worked perfectly.  My good old reliable M6 :).

Anyway, I’ll be bringing my Leica M9 in to my dealer’s tomorrow morning, and I will probably be shooting with the Fuji X100 until it comes back.  This would be a great time to try out the Fuji X-Pro1 but mine didn’t come yet.  I will keep you all updated on my M9.  I had some photos to post today but I think that I will save it for tomorrow.  Thanks for stopping by!
