[Leica] CLA service- Noctilux

[douglas.sharp at gmx.de (Douglas Sharp)]

Hello Bernardo,
That sounds very reasonable for Leica prices - you must however consider 
that it's typical for Leica to work in a range of up to 10% more than 
the estimated price (it's not a Leica matter, it's German commercial 
law), if they find it should cost more they would get in touch with you 
for confirmation.
By the way, in Hannover there's a repair shop which may be cheaper - and 
is just as good, and usually faster than Leica (2 to 3 weeks) - you 
could send them a mail and ask for an estimate as a comparison. I'm not 
sure whether they still repair or CLA lenses, some years ago they did a 
repair for me on a Leica-R 50mm lens, so I think they may.

(The workshop was formerly Fotomechanik Kielgas - one of the most 
respected repairers for Leica, Rollei, Zeiss, Hasselblad in Europe)
Cheers
Douglas
