Contax IIa CLA?

[Steve B]

Hey all, I have a IIa with a sonnar 50mm f2 that my father in law gave me some years ago. I've used it off and on and I really like it. Recently though the shutter has started to be less consistent at the slower speeds. Normal hand held speeds are still reliable but the longer speeds are not. I'd like to get the camera in top working order as I'd like to keep and use it for many more years to come and am looking for recommendations as to who to send it to. Any suggestions as to reliable repair folk with in depth Contax experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,,,,,,,,,

Two repair places that I have used, and have been very happy with.

Henry Scherer, website is zeisscamera.com. Considered by many to be the ultimate Contax RF guru. I have had 5 cameras and a bunch of lenses overhauled by Henry, and am very pleased. I believe that Henry has long waiting list at the moment, but the service is superior, well worth the wait, like having a better-than-factory new camera.

Photography on Bald Mountain/ Ken Ruth, http://www.baldmtn.com/. Exceptional service, about the same price as Henry Scherer, may have a shorter waiting list.

I have not used this service, but other RFF members have reported good results from Essex Camera, http://www.essexcamera.com/.
