It's a guy in the UK, an ex-Leica service engineer (is that what you call them?) who now does this work independently (quicker and definitely cheaper than service by Leica UK, who are still having to send lenses to Germany due to not actually having any lens technicians trained at present- this is a big problem, cos last year I got a 60mm Macro-Elmarit converted from 2~ to 3-cam and it cost an arm and a leg and was away for 7 months, yes 7) but who was actually recommended to me by the service dept manager of Leica UK (they used to sit next to one another at work apparently). I assume he uses the proper stuff. I imagine it does matter, but would be interested to learn more. -- joe b.
