One of the phenomenal resources that I've discovered via the LUG are the
recommendations for a number of eminently qualified Leica repair people.
One does not need to incur the extra expense and added time of sending
equipment to Leica for repair or servicing. It's worth the wasted
bandwidth for the depth of knowledge available here. Take advantage of
it as you need it.
