If not, I'd do what I have to do get the camera back - which may mean waiting two weeks and paying, but I'd make it clear, in writing, that I was paying under protest and I'd take them to Small Claims court.

I suggest everyone stays away from Mid-State Camera Repair in Chicago Illinois. I brought an M4 in to be checked at 3:45 pm because the rangefinder images did not line up correctly. They said it would be $185. I said that was steep, seing that DAG CLA'd the camera one year prior. They told me it would cost $185 no matter what they did and I left it with them. The next business day at 11 am I called and said I did not want the repair to be done, I felt it was too steep a price for an alignment. They said too bad, I agreed to the price and they would not give it back for two weeks, cash only!!! Technically i suppose they have the right to do this, but would you want them to? To you and your Leica?
