Hello Konstantin,

Welcome to the LUG.

Since you are in Germany, not that far away, I can recommend

Malcolm Taylor Leica Specialist

Upper Lye Farm, 
Aymestrey, 
Leominster, 
Herefordshire 
HR6 9SZ 
UK

Tel: +44 (0) 1568 770542

He will not only be able to service your lens but is also able to re-coat
the elements.

It may be worth contacting him before sending the lens elsewhere.

Regards
Eric
