[Leica] M9/MM corrosion question......

I suppose if you already have a good relationship with them, you could

I read today they are deploying the new sensors now.

The problem appears in images shot from about f5.6 higher, and is visible
in skies and light colors.   Mine appeared similar to small "floaters"
like you get in your eyes.
