mike_pender1 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Hi all! I spoke with a gentleman today who owns a vintage Leica IIIc Rangefinder 35mm camera, and he asked me if anyone out there could replace his cloth focal plane shutter?? It has some holes in it. Any cost estimates/addresses would be appreciated! Thanks again for your assistance. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaijin Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I don't have a cost estimate but DAG should be able to replace the shutter curtains. I have had a lot of work done by Don on multiple Leica cameras. You can email him for a quote. I have found him to be very response to emails. His web site is here: http://www.dagcamera.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vick_ko Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Also try Youxin Ye - very economical, very good. He is in Boston (I think). wye7@yahoo.com Vick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter_n1664876959 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I had Youxin Ye replace the same part last year on a IIIc. He's in Canton, MA and did excellent work for me. Send him an email at the address supplied above by Vick and you should get a fairly quick response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m._howard_edwards Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I second the motion on Youxin Yee. Personable, quick, and economical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob F. Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I have had two IIIc bodies overhauled by John Maddox in Greenville, South Carolina. One of them did require a new shutter curtain. John's work was excellent, and the price was certainly right! He can be reached at (864) 297-6931. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
