<p>Sherry is without equal as a Leica repair specialist. She has worked on my M cameras 3-4 times over the last ten years and has always done an outstanding job for a reasonable price in a reasonable amount of time.<br>

She did a CLA and an MP viewfinder upgrade on my M4-P. When I got it back, it was like a new camera: Smooth as silk!<br>

I cannot recommend Sherry highly enough.</p>

<p>If you want a new Leica M, they still make the M7 and M4-P.<br>

However: Don't dismiss the older (used ) Leica M cameras. The M3, M4 series (M4, M4-2 and M4-P) as well as the M5 cameras are of higher quality and reliability than the lateer M cameras (so says a very reliable source who is well known as a Leica repair specialist/guru). The earlier M6 (pre TTL) are good cameras, too.<br>

A pristine M4-P will sell for around $1400-1600 USD. While a handheld meter will be needed, the prices of a mint M4-P are much easier to swallow than the $4995 USD that new M7 and MP bodies sell for.</p>
