[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I was a bit disconcerted to learn that some repair parts are not available for some Leica M series cameras (at least from Leica, presumably from donor bodies or old parts stock?). Is there a listing of which parts are unavailable, and what kinds of repairs are involved? Is this a non-problem due to repairer stocks of parts, or is it a problem likely to compromise repairability of the Leica M (M2..) in the forseeable future? After having spent 6+ months/3 repair shops getting an Ebay "excellent" Nikon FE repaired due to dead FRE shutter electronics (not available from Nikon), I am a bit concerned to end up with a Leica/Leicaflex/R body I can't get fixed? Thanks for your insights! regards bobm
