For my 1D Canon system, every year I sent to CSC for cleaning for sensor, and the charge is $25 each time. That's why I go there every 3 or 4 times a year.
But I was wondering, why is it going to cost me $150 for a sensor cleaning for my M9?:think:

Is it so much more expensive because it it technically much more difficult to clean its sensor or is it because it is a big brand? :dunno:

Nah .. it just a rip off .. it the same for both Canon and M9 .. the curtain opens and in goes the swap ..

I normally just use a blower .. for $150 they can kiss my behind :bsmilie:

You mean at Schmidt?
 

You mean at Schmidt?
I didnt check with Schmidt ... just checking with an independent Leica "specialist", highly recommended by the kind bros here :rolleyes:
Personally I think at most $30 ($25 + ($5 more for this brand:devil: ) would be a reasonable amount.
 

$150? Sorry but I call BS.

Please send it back to Schmidt if you want to get your sensor cleaned, you will be pleasantly surprised at their price. Let's just say that compared to what you have been quoted at your so called "specialist" it is almost considered free if you bring it to Schmidt.
 

TS - I suggest you make your conclusions based on more than 1 quote...
