I bought this Leica M-E that was infrared and monochrome converted (no bayer CFA) a few weeks ago. The M-E is basically an M9 without the frame-line switch or USB port. After receiving it, it became faulty. The camera displays an image on the right side, however the left side is completely black. My thinking is that before it was converted, there was corrosion on the glass that spread to the sensor and caused issues. The sensor can be replaced by kolari vision, however I am deciding to sell it to fund other gear. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. Sold AS-IS, no returns
