The LUG is bound to have someone living there who can advise you. I think you need a technician experienced with rangefinder cameras more than just any camera technician. LUG members in the USA often mention several excellent technicians there, such as DAG for example. You might like to search the archives. I'm sure that someone will post suggestions. At Solms, customer service should be able to tell you delivery times and prices if you contact them.

You may find that a small infinity error is not critical due to Depth of Field tolerances. Certainly wise to check before you go and then get it fixed later, of course. 2009/7/7 Erik van der Meulen <erik at avondel.com> > Dear Leica-people, > > I have recently discovered that my M6ttl (0.82) does not focus correctly at > infinity.
