[Leica] Amazingly On topic!! Lens CLA

[rangefinder at screengang.com (Didier Ludwig)]

300$ must be including recoating. Without recoating a standard lens CLA is 
under $100. I had sent a collapsible summicron to focalpointlens.com half a 
year ago. The coating was strongly scratched and the focus ring corroded 
inside. John van Stelten has recoated and CLA'd it and I paid something 
less than $300. I am very pleased by John's work. The front of the lens 
looks like new and shoots crispy sharp again.
