Recommendation for Vitessa/Contessa/Retina repair person

I was bitten by the folding 35mm bug and acquired a few of them, a Voigtlander

Vitessa A5, a Zeiss Ikon Contessa 35 (later one with Tessar T*), and a Retina

IIc. So far an awesome experience, but the film is yet to be developed. They all

have their quirkiness, but the workmanship and aethetics just amaze me. You can

feel they are made by people who are very proud to put their name on a product.

 

In case I do like them and want to give them a proper CLA for regular use, do

you have any recommendation for good craftman who work on these jewels? I'm from

San Francisco Bay Area, and local experts will be even better!

 

Thank you all and I sense this might well be the beginning of my classic camera

adventure!

About the Retina IIc, I have one, and with proper care you won't need to worry much, you can check the Chris's camera page for more information about the Retina cameras. there are many things you can do yourself, like adjusting the rangefinder, which is usually the most common problem.

Thanks Yann, I will check out Chris's camera page.

Can anyone update this information?

(Or should I start a new page?)

 

I'm wanting to get my late father's gone over....
