[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have an M4-2 which is in need of a rangefinder adjustment. It appears to be a linear error (it focusses approximately 10% too far, ie at 5 ft the scale indicates approx. 5.5 ft.) As best I can tell this error remains constant over the entire focussing range. It almost seems as if the camera had been modified to work with infrared film (I don't know, I bought it used). Anyway, I'd like to get it repaired and am debating if I should send it to Leica or DAG. I've heard that DAG does very good work, is there a price difference ? I've also heard that Leica runs specials on repair services each Summer, are the specials worth waiting for ? The camera could probably also use a general CLA and the vulcanite is cracked with several pieces missing. I'm thinking of having these taken care of at the same time, Any idea how much this will cost? I'd appreciate anyone's insites or experinces. Thank in advance.
