So I was thinking of getting the > Konica Hexar as opposed to a new 35mm. It's cheaper for one thing. I would try other sources for repairing your Leica lens. A couple have been mentioned already, you might also try: DAG Camera Repair Don Goldberg 2451 Thatcher Lane McFarland, WI 53558 USA Tel: 608-838-4769 Excellent work and very competitively priced. In the meanwhile, the Hexar is a fine camera. It has a great lens and is extraordinarily quiet. Having more than one camera is often a boon as you can have two different kinds of film loaded and ready to use. Godfrey
