But I also know where I won't go (as Clint Eastwood said - "a man's got to know his limits") I had a new Leica MP meter fail, after it sat on my shelf for just over 2 years. That went to Kindermann under warranty. It requires Leica software and computer to calibrate the meter again. I wouldn't even go into an MP. My range of experience has included: - fully repair a separated M3 RF, where the prism had separated and viewing had gone black - reassembled an M2 that came to me partially disassembled. Identified that it had one stripped gear, and bought the part from DAG. - restored an M3 that was binding as the shutter was tensioned - rebuilt a Leica E, including full disassembly and shutter curtain repair Other cameras: - rebuilt an Alpa first gen Prisma, including shutter replacement, restore shutter tensioning spring and RF re-adjustment. That was a big job. - have now repaired three Nikon 50 f1.1 lenses, including re-cement doublets on two of these lenses - restored two Nikon S36 motors ....Vick -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+vick.ko=sympatico.ca@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+vick.ko=sympatico.ca@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Frank Filippone Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2007 9:11 PM To: 'Leica Users Group' Subject: [Leica] Leica Repair..... We all have had our cameras repaired/adjusted, etc. Some use Leica official service, some use Sherry some use DAG. ( some of our Canadian friends use Kindermann) Why do you select the service you use? If your camera were out of warranty, would that change your decision?
