This is a used Leica M9 Black Paint.
The CCD sensor has corrosion symptoms due to its ID being 11.
You can continue to use it as is, or consider correcting it with image editing software if necessary.
While Leica's genuine sensor replacement service has ended, it is possible to replace it with a modified sensor for approximately 150,000 yen through third-party repair services (such as AIBA Denshi Kobo in Japan or Kolari Vision in the US).
Please check the sample photos of a landscape and white Kent paper taken at aperture f16 and ISO 200, which are included in the listing images.
[Exterior]
There are minor scuffs and small scratches from normal use, but overall it appears to have been handled with care. There are no significant dents or impacts.
The gold brass base is exposed in some areas on the baseplate and the front edges of the top cover, giving it a nice vintage feel.
The viewfinder is clear and functions without issue.
[Operation]
Tested with a lens attached, and all functions are in good working order, including confirming infinity focus at over 1km.
The shutter count is 15,779, which is low considering the age of the camera.
(The shutter count is indicated as NumExposures in the product photos.)
