CLA of my M4 by CRR

[nobbylon]

Some here may remember my M4 purchase before Xmas. The camera was in great cond' but in dire need of a service with the film advance squeaky and stiff, speeds off, preview lever sticking etc.
I contacted Peter at CRR Luton who kindly agreed to do a full CLA for me at short notice.
I have today received it back and all I can say is that it actually feels smoother and nicer in general than my ex MP and a couple of others i've used. It feels like I just received a new M4. I would just like to thank Peter on here and recommend his services to anyone needing them.
Happy New year to all,
john

What did it costs, such a full CLA? Did they change any parts?

Thanks for the link, for an M it is GBP 165 for general service.

Ooops, with the low UK£ that becomes cheaper than many other repairers in Europe and the USA.

Oh! What did you do to get it CLA'd and back in such a short time? Peter had my CL almost a year. He has also done a M3 for me, including re-cementing of the finder, that took three month to turn around. Always does a very good job but he seems overloaded.
So I am very surprised of your deal with him.

I think he is as always very busy however he managed to fit it in for which I am most gratefull. This M4 now has the best feel to any M i've had, including MP, M6, M6ttl.

Peter at CRR. Excellent results, great attention to detail on Leicas new and old.
(I have no commercial association!)

Don't bother with email, phone directly. If it is a straightforward CLA he will surely fit it in as quickly as possible. It is the more involved jobs that take longer and I don't really know if a CL fits into this category.
