CLA in Japan??

[St.Ephen]

Anyone here know of a reputable shop in Tokyo/Japan to send a CL for some attention?? I noticed that the bottom plate has a dent(think it was dropped) and it is becoming loose from the back plate, and there's a tiny hole in the film/weather setting dial...any recommendations?

You could try MAP-CAMERA in Tokyo. www.mapcamera.com According to their HP they have some repair-service and offer communication in english. I bought my used M4-P from them and it was a good deal. I can't find the link right now but two month ago I found an offer from a different company in the web for a complete CLA with exchange of the shutter curtains for 45.000 Yen. Since my language skills are low, I decided to sent my M3 to Youxin Ye in USA instead, very good and fast service.

Thanks Gabor! I know a little about MapCamera, but wondered if there was a Leica specialist that could handle it?? That 45,000 sounds like a good deal...

You may want to check with Kanto Camera Service. Here's their URL in English : http://www.kanto-cs.co.jp/english/index_english.html

Thank you sakemasu. I can't seem to load the repair page here at work, so i'll have another look at home later. Thanks again!!
