I have a Vitessa L that's in great shape, but have a problem with it. The range finder is not functioning. When I got it, it worked OK but soon it became uncoupled. The lens would not move when I turned the focus wheel. I sent it off to repair and it came back not working again. The repair man is reliable and said it was working when shipped. He worked on it again, and when I received it the second time it was working but the focus action felt rough. It quickly quit working. I think something is shaking loose when the camera is mailed. Is there anyone out there who specializes in Voigtlander repairs like this?

Who are you sending it to? I've had a famous Yashica repair guy mess mine up. You could try Walter's Camera repair in Los Angeles.

I'm thinking of sending it to 3R Repair in NYC. They seem to specialize in classics.
