Contax IIIa - repair in Europe

[gyuribacsi]

Hello everybody!
I have the chance to get a never used Contax IIIa for free. The issue is, the camera has to go for a fundamental CLA. I`m living in Munich (Germany) and need some advice, where in Western-Europe this work can be done in a reliable manner and for a good price.

Please help me with some good links.

Thanks a lot and have a nice day (or night)
George

here is a list of german camera repair shops. Phone them and ask, if they work on the old contaxes. Good luck.

My primary address for this sort of thing would be Master Olbrich at:

Foto-service Olbrich
Emmerichstr. 17
02826 Görlitz
Tel: 03581 / 40 12 41

I'm not sure if he services West German Contaxes as well, but he probably does and he enjoys an excellent reputation as an Exakta and Pentacon repairman.

Thanks to you all for your kind replys.
Now I hope to get this little jewel of Contax from the owner and the lenses too (sonnar 1,5/50 and biogon 35mm).

Regards
George

Does that happen very often in Germany? Basically, I could have a chance to relocate to Bavaria.
