ronald_moravec1 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 If you are getting horizontal blurry streaks at high shutter speeds or you are getting dark spots on the pictures, the curtains need replacement. This will be $300+ from the first three I list just so you will not be suprised. DAG, Goldentouch, Focalpointlens.com are the usual places. Also Essex camera repair and they are probably the cheapest. Leica no longer services screwmounts. Mark Hamma has done two of mine. Other people I reffered reported problems with him. All have websites with phone numbers and E-mail addresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendell_kelly Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 If you don't mind a longer turnaround, John Maddox is the fellow to service a screw mount Leica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian bastin Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 The streaks can happen when the shutter needs new lubricant, but more likely at higher speeds; if it's happening at low speeds there could be the holes in the blinds. The shutter has to be taken apart to lubricate because oil on the blind fabric will ruin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sw12dz Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Youxin Ye replaced the curtains on my IIIc and did a CLA last month for $120. He also returned the camera one week later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomasw Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Youxin Ye worked on a barnack of mine just three months ago. He works quickly, communicates effectively, and does excellent work. I recommend him highly for screw mount work. His service costs are very fair as well. I'd email him if I were you. wye7@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
