Hello John,

I highly recommend Gerry Smith at Kinderman in Toronto.
I cannot possibly say enough of good things about him.
I am sure many of your fellow Canadians will join me in
recommending him.   He is my favorite Leica repair person,
even if that means I risk the potential hassle with customs
or international carriers (has not happened in this case yet).
