I thought back and had a great deal of difficulty deciding which nasty knock might have caused the trouble. It might have been when the camera swung around while I was loading wee James into the car seat, resulting in a rather solid smack against the door post; or, it might have been when my darling daughter decided to move the diaper bag out of her way, grabbing the unsuspecting camera by the strap and bouncing the camera off the asphalt not once but twice. Needless to say the fact that it was out of alignment did not come as too much of a surprise but how fast could I get it repaired as I had a outlaw wedding coming up. I emailed Lisle-Kelco that night and enquired as to whether they were set up to do rangefinder alignments yet, they have just taken over the distributorship in Canada, and explained I was in a bit of a rush and did not want it going to Germany. I also offered to give them my credit card no. so they could air it back when they were done. On Thursday morning I received an email reply saying they could do the work no problem and not to bother about the return freight. So I dashed down to the post office and sent in overnight air to L-K in Ontario, several thousand miles away, and then toddled off on a visit to some different outlaws for the weekend. On my Monday morning, I checked with the post office and confirmed it was delivered on Friday and was just settling down to peruse the Leica-users weekend ramblings when a knock sounded sharply on the front door. There, in their natty rich brown attire, was UPS with the faultlessly repaired camera!!! What can I say but that Lisle-Kelco's service is AMAZING. Cheers John Collier
