My paycheque goes to RFF
I just wanted to let everyone know what a positive experience I had dealing with David Yau of Yau's Camera Service in Scarborough, ON.
On Friday, I received an M6 TTL in otherwise superb condition, but with a faulty shutter release mechanism. On the advice of other forum members here, I contacted David by e-mail, and he agreed to repair my camera on Monday so I could take it on a trip to England the next day (today!).
David was extremely friendly and pleasant to deal with. He went out of his way to work around my crazy schedule on Monday, even altering his own plans so I would be able to pick up the camera later in the evening. The problem was fairly minor, and he repaired it for an extremely reasonable price. When I went to pick up the camera, I discovered he'd also checked the shutter speeds and rangefinder focus alignment for free. I asked him about his CLA rates, and they are also similarly good value. One thing he doesn't do is charge a flat CLA rate for all cameras, so you don't have to pay the cost of a major repair just for a basic tune-up.
Again, an extremely positive experience. I will probably take any Leica repair work to him in the future. A very professional repair person. He even had some cool Leica magazines for reading in his sitting room 🙂
