Sensor Repair for Leica M9 with Corrosion Damage
Replacement of the Damaged Filter in the Sensor
of Your Leica Camera.
You are purchasing a camera repair service from us (not a camera).
We replace the damaged sensor filter with modern, durable optical glass that fully preserves the original image quality and color fidelity of the Leica M9.
Repair Process:
- After purchase, please provide your email address, the model, and the serial number of your Leica camera. We will send you the address of our workshop.
- Send your camera well-padded, with a charged battery and body cap. Accessories are not required. Important: Use neutral packaging and insure the shipment up to the full (or replacement) value of the Leica (with DHL, add extra insurance up to €5000 against loss or damage).
- After completion, we will return your camera along with an invoice.
In many Leica M9 cameras, sensor corrosion appears over time, visible as spots or artifacts in the images. The cause is the degradation of the infrared-blocking filter above the CCD sensor.
Our specialist workshop offers a professional and lasting solution:
We replace the damaged filter with corrosion-resistant specialty glass that fully preserves the original image quality and color fidelity of the Leica M9.
Our repair service includes:
- Removal of the defective filter
- Installation of a new corrosion-resistant specialty filter
- Fine-tuning of optical properties
- Comprehensive final image quality check
- 12-month warranty on the replaced filter glass
After the repair, your Leica M9 will be fully operational again – and permanently protected against new corrosion.
Note: This solution represents a permanent improvement over the original and extends the life of your camera.
Despite utmost care, sensitive operations such as sensor glass repair always carry a small risk of damage. In such cases, we take full responsibility and will provide an equivalent replacement. Market prices – and therefore our liability risk – vary by model and are reflected in our pricing.
International Customers: We accept orders from all over Europe. For orders from countries outside the European Union, an additional service fee of €100 applies. This covers customs handling and increased shipping costs. The fee will be invoiced separately after the order is received.
Since offering our Leica M9 sensor repair on eBay, we have been positively surprised by the strong response – both domestically and internationally. The trust and positive feedback from our customers confirm the quality and relevance of our service.
As this is a high-precision manual process carried out with great care in our specialist workshop, the current turnaround time is approximately 40 business days, depending in part on the availability of optical filters.
