I love your ability to see the elegance in the everyday… the simplicity of this is powerful.

That Leica would not have a sensor cleaning system for a camera x this price tag is incomprehensible and irresponsible. Unless you work (and I mean really WORK) with the camera in a dust free environment, you will at one point be in trouble. I had to have the sensor of my M9-P replaced because it could not be cleaned anymore as the dust developed mold. Of course if you can afford to have TWO M cameras it is not an issue as you can keep one in a sealed bag until the other one has to be sent to Germany for a couple of weeks to have its sensor cleaned or replaced.

I had some noticeable dust spots on my M9. I’d stocked up on sensor-cleaning devices, for both the M9 and my DSLRs. The first thing I tried was a Rocket-style blower – this removed the dust and I haven’t, so far, needed to do anything else.

I would add that it’s easier to clean the sensor in an M-series body than in a DSLR, as you can get at it more easily. Also, despite sensor cleaning systems my DSLR (Nikon) isn’t completely spotless.

There are also some camera stores that can do it for you for a fee.

Also, there’s a lot of CA on the guy in the stores sun glasses. Could be the lens that’s producing that though.

Those blown highlights look pretty psychedelic. That’s a little worrying.

I am considering purchasing one when it comes out in January or February. Many high-end and even not so high-end digital SLRs have self cleaning sensors. The new M Tye 240 does not have a self-cleaning sensor. Leica has told me that there simply is not enough room in the body for such a feature. You have to very carefully blow and bfrush it off yourself or send it back to Leica for cleaning. Should I be concerned about this non-self-cleaning sensor? Or is too much made of the self-cleaning sensor feature?

Solid, Ashwin, but a little boring… I think the Monochrom may have spoiled me.

Cheers, Raaj! Hope you get a chance to play

Looks pretty nice. Wish the images were of larger size, to assess the pixel peeper in me. Thanks, Raaj, for posting these images….the tonal balance and macroscopic look appears solid..
