I found this place

Just wondered if anyone had used them?

I'm afraid I've not used their services, however they have a good reputation.
What do you need fixed?

It is a new curtain as I have a small light leak, and the lower shutter speeds need adjusting, I just got an email and they said about £180 more than I paid for the camera and lens, but that sounds like an ok price?

Hi Paul,

I had the same done on mine some years ago by someone here in the Netherlands. It's a few hours work I was told plus the material. I'm not sure if that quote is reasonable as my repair was carried out under the guarantee. You could get a second opinion if you like from the guy here in the Netherlands ... http://www.kamera-service.info/

Give Malcolm Taylor a call, he's highly recommended and repairs one of my friends Leica's. He's Leitz trained and probably more reasonably priced, he's supposed to the best in the UK.
