You can always check it at home, with time, but having someone with the knowledge and equipment to do the re-collimation is beyond the mere mortal. Yes, us here in the USA are a bit US-Centric......

If you're getting it done by DAG he will check and recollimate the lens if the flange is a slightly different thickness, so it's not an issue. I was talking about doing it yourself at home. I also don't have the option of easily sending things to DAG from Australia; the cost of sending the lens to the USA would add enough cost that it would be more expensive than sending it to the Australian Leica authorised repairer, Camera Clinic. The additional time I would be without the lens would also be inconvenient. Marty
