Leica Japan and Leica Germany could not adjust my front-focussing 90
Summicron (Leitz Canada). Don Goldberg was very uncertain he could help,
and suggest Leica Germany. Sherry Krauter almost took the job, but when she
found out I would use the lens not only on my M3 but also on my M9, she
refused to even look at it, as she can't guarantee work on lenses used on
digital.

But then I found Will van Manen and Cathy Kuiper of Kamera-Service. They
tested my lens and adjusted it using their 'very expensive collimator' and
a Leica Typ M240. How much? 125 Euros! They specialize in Leica, Haselblad,
and Rollei. Here's their website:

I took some ruler-taped-to the-wall photos using a tripod and a the time
release setting, and they were great, spot on now! New life to the lens
that no-one else would touch! I won't inflict the ruler shots on you, but
between home and work today I took some outdoor shots. Here's the link:

All the best,
