I very much like the look and feel of such cameras but also want a very compact (with 50mm Elmar) classical camera to basically carry everywhere. Now I ve read that most of these older cameras need a CLA and possibly also a new shutter (-curtain). Also I have often heard good things said about overhauled cameras by certain repairspecialists (e.g. Sherry Krauter). So, can you recommend a particular model over another (I was thinking about a IIIc, IIc, IIIf or IIf) _and_ can you recommend a particular repair person to do a complete CLA of the camera (if possible in Europe, esp. Germany)? How much do you think I would have to pay for the camera and the CLA/possible shutter repair?? Maybe somebody has a reliable, CLAed camera for sale? I am not looking for a mint example, just one in good working order. As always I apreciate every comment. Many TIA, Matthias Ochs - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
