I've had 2 lenses modified from 2-cam to 3-cam: a 90mm Summicron-R about 20
years ago by Leica USA, and an old 135mm Elmarit-R last summer by Sherry
Krauter.  Both lenses returned virtually indistinguishable from a lens that
was originally 3-cam.  The cost of the Leica USA conversion was so long ago
to be irrelevant.  Sherry's charge was $115.
