Though it is easy to be enthusiastic about Sherry. Met her, too,
and she's doll, but I've not had problems with my Leica stuff yet,
therefore haven't had the opportunity.
I have had some Minox work done by DAG, Don Goldberg, and
there is another top notch repairguy. I heard an estimate that
some 75% of his work is Leica, but he does have this great ability
with the real small stuff, but, WTH, that's still in the family.
Several others with excellent references, also. We're fortunate to
have this wonderful support by individuals rather than being
married to only factory service. May it always be!
