Subject: [Leica] Broken R3 light meter
From: Dave Mason <photo@nc.rr.com>

This weekend the light meter on my beloved R3 showed some signs of
failure. I noticed upon a beautiful sunrise that it was not responding
correctly. I changed the ASA number - no change, I changed the
aperture- no response. However, it nailed 'sunny 16' during the midday
and then failed under some shade while focused on a neutral gray slab
of granite. I had my friend and his Nikon handy to compare which tool
me past the denial stage.

I am depressed. I have never had to repair my Leica before. I do not
live near a good repair shop, nor a good Leica dealer. Can someone
recommend a *very good* place to send my R3 for some love and care? I
also do not know how much I can expect to pay. If it is too much I
will probably want to get a newer R model. 

Recommendations, comments, or condolences welcome


Cheers,

Dave
