The Q3 isn't experiencing sensor corrosion. The upgrade program was created for owners of Leica M9-generation cameras. Those older CCD sensors, originally manufactured for Leica by Kodak, had a flaw in the sensor coverglass coating. With time, these sensors will pit and corrode. Since replacement sensors are no longer available, Leica created the upgrade program to create a path forward for those owners impacted by the issue.
Thank you, David.
