<p>I'd like to add a name to the recommended Technician's list found in this thread. I've sent cameras and lenses to all technicians on the list with good results and sometimes a problem or two. Recently, I found a jewel close to home. Dave Easterwood, in Chelsea Michigan has been a trained technician since 1973 and is a very conscientious and skilled repairman for all sorts of cameras, not just Leica. I would say that he specializes in Leica and Rolleiflex though, probably due to more work in those areas over the years. I have found that his work is comparable to the best on the list, the Leicas that I have had CLA'd by Dave operate smoothly and just feel like they have been taken back to brand new. Not only a great tech, Dave also listens to his customers. I had a 50mm rigid that had some mysterious very small specks on an inside element and I wanted it cleaned, but not further damaged by the cleaning, as one previous technician had done to 2 of my 50mm DR's. Before I even expressed my concerns, Dave volunteered that he would approach the cleaning of that particular element from the very periphery and if one of the specks would clean off without problem, only then would he proceed to clean the whole element. How many techs would volunteer that kind of attention to detail? Anyways, I have been very happy with his work and can highly recommend him to the list. Bob.</p>
