Well, the M4-P came back last week and works as smoother than a new camera. So, last week I mailed an M3 off to Kindermann for a CLA. I got a call today, and it was comleted and they were just inquiring as to how I wanted it shipped. Giving allowance for the time it took to get there, the M3 was in and out in probably three days. As I said before, it is the national Leica distributor that is responsible for the level of service in their Country. Kindermann is certainly first rate. I asked them whether they do cameras from the USA and they said all the time. There is no duty involved, but sometimes a courier may charge a brockerage fee for clearing the camera through customs. My experience on this issue is that it is always best to mail cameras from the US into Canada. The customs is cleared by Canada Post and most times there is no charge. Kindermann's address is: Kindermann Canada 361 Steelcase Road West, Unit #3 Markham, Ontario, L3R 3V8 (905) 479-0167 Regards, Robert
