Just to make things clear:
Of course it has a viewfinder, but no rangefinder.

They repair as much as possible. With M-cameras they guarantee to repair
them. In my case they replace the curtains as well as some minor parts.
They will adjust the timings and clean it from fungus. Yes it has fungus, my
dad should have used it more.
They do some mechanical repairs on the lens but cannot do anything on the
optics.
BTW: The curtains are still OK. Leica just recommends to replace them.
The price including these recommendations is approximately $500.
