I dropped my M6 onto my terra cotta tile den floor. It only fell about a foot, but the case looked like it was a total loss. I called Ken from an ad in Shutterbug, back when it was a real magazine. I sent the camera in, and a couple weeks later, it came back, all fixed. Just like new. He included his business card, and on the back all the shutter speeds were recorded at actual speed. Later, I sent him an M3, for CLA, and he turned it into a single stroke for me. It came back a different camera, silky like new. He's also great to talk to on the phone.
