Isaac Meizenberg from Continental Camera, Skokie, IL doe a fime job of black painting & his specialty is the gold plated ones since Alfredo from New Orleans has retired. There is a beautiful black paint IIIg with black Leicavit for sale at auction right now, with an opening of $2500 & will probably be either not sold or bring in $4000. Of course it comes with the disclaimer that it is not an original paint job. Both Isaac & Greg Metzcar do fine work.

But I never dealt with him or really talked with him much other than to ask to see some later m lenses. I have only been to one show in Chicago in the last 5 years and then I was really too busy looking for specific non-Leica items so I don't remember positively if he was still there or not.
