I too am in the hunt for a repair person for both M's and for IIIF-vintage 
LTM's.

Also - a follow on question.  Does a "standard" CLA include a full 
rangefinder cleaning and shutter calibration?  Most of the M3, M2, and CL's 
that I've been looking at have very low contrast in the viewfinder, and I'm 
assuming that a full CLA and RF cleaning would cure this.

Any ballpark prices on the various service options?
