c_d5 Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I still think it is a rip off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feli Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Leica NJ charges a little more than Sherry, DAG, Kinderman or any of the other repair shops. In their defense I must say that they do very nice work and turnaround time is very good. So far they have turned things around for me in 4-5 weeks. They are also my first choice, if I have to have serious work done on a lens. But compared to other brands it's not excessive. I've had my Hasselblads and Rolleiflex done and they were in the same ballpark. A friend of mine paid about $400 bucks to get his Nikon F3 rebuilt.

rod g. Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Stuart, what Eliot said. With normal use and regular exercise the rule of thumb seems to be a CLA every 15 years +/-. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCULUS New York Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 It's a minimum charge thing; get the CLA and enjoy it, as new. Ray Hull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_w. Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 If it ain't broke why fix it? Send it to an independent to get the work you need. When I lived in Chicago my tech. would adjust the alignment for free and sell my gear for only a 10% commission. I prefer the mom-and-pop stores and generally will pay more because I hate the Walmarts of the world. BTW, I did DIY with my RF error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capocheny Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Feli, "...and turnaround time is very good. So far they have turned things around for me in 4-5 weeks." 4-5 weeks is a good turnaround time? :) I had DAG do some work on my camera (upgraded viewfinder, replaced some parts, and did a full CLA) and it was turned around in under a week. The camera was sent on Monday, received on Tuesday and I had it back in my hands by Saturday morning! And, not only that, the camera works superbly! THAT, IMHO, is what I would consider a GREAT turnaround time. :) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
working camera Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Why is it so expensive to have a Lamborghini serviced? For what they are, quaint specialist hand assembled cameras, Leicas ain?t expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
