I had two CLA's done > by them and > they turned around both jobs in a week including the time it took to mail > the cameras to them. I have tried them in the past, but I found them very expensive. Sherry did a good job fixing the current problems on my M6. I once sent Kindermann a lens (90mm 2.8) that had got slightly dented. They said they couldn't fix it and sent it to Leica Germany (at a cost of $80.00 to me). Who then quoted me about 900.00 for a repair. I sent it down to the States to a private repairer and got a perfectly good job for 220.00 Plus, I was also pretty frustrated to find Kindermann/Leica Canada offer NO professional support when my current M6 did pack in the middle of an assignment in Central America. No possibility of loaning equipment or anything. In fact leica USA did offer to help, and were much more helpful. I guess Kindermann must think there are no professionals using Leicas in Canada! I think the only way to go is Tina's route - take 5 M bodies just in case (but then she usually drops some in a river!!). Maybe I'll give Kindermann a try for CLA's next time though? Tim A
