This was done in Belgium--or rather, it was handled through the Belgian distributor, as far as I know all such work is done at Solms anyway. So the price I paid includes some gravy for the distributor and probably also the dealer who handled the transaction. I am sure it would be cheaper if I had sent it directly to Leica in Germany myself. Besides adding the 3rd cam, Leica also appears to have done a general CLA on the lens and replaced the old aperture ring (on which some of the paint in the numbers had worn off) with a brand new one. I did not ask for these services but I am quite pleased with the result. Nathan Steve Huntley wrote: > Luggers: > Does anyone have an estimate on the cost of adding a 3rd cam to a Leicaflex lens?
