[Leica] Getting a hand held meter fixed.....

[kapner at earthlink.net ( Leonard J. Kapner)]

I'll second Dennis' commendation. I had a non-op Weston Master III that I 
had used for many years and wanted to renovate it for a vintage camera 
project I'm undertaking. After a brief discussion with George at Quality 
Light Metric, I shipped the meter to him on Monday and got it bck on Friday, 
working perfectly. The price was reasonable; far less that having to buy a 
new Sekonic. I cannot recommend this service too highly.

I second what Frank says. I'll use Quality LightMetrics over anyone else, 
both
for the service, and to put the money where I hope it keeps them in business.

I think George has an apprentice working with him too so maybe this valuable
service will stay around.
