Leica Repair shop in Europe?

sterioma · Nov 15, 2005

Hi,

I need to have a Leica IIIf serviced (CLA and shutter speeds). Is there any reliable service shop in Europe that won't cost me a fortune?

I have checked CAMERA REPAIRS & RESTORATION , LUTON , ENGLAND. Their prices seem to be on the expensive side.

Have you got any other place to suggest?

Thanks,
Stefano

For a price quote, send a mail to Werner Schaden at LP-Foto in Stockholm. He's doing Leica.

Stefano,
I have just seen today this one based in Vienna, there are no prices quoted on their site though.

Maybe worth a try and give them a call.

Someone on pnet said Leica is no longer servicing LTM bodies, but maybe that only refers to the U.S. operation.

I've used Kindermann in Toronto, Canada. Dead Link Removed Supposidly they bought out Leica's stocks of screw mount parts when they discontinued them. The techs are excellent, each have 30+ years of experience working on these cameras and do excellent work. As an advantage, it's cheaper to have the work done in Canada than Europe.

Going by memory, I think a complete CLA was $260 cdn, or about 190 euros.
