Leica servicing/repair in London

[red snapper]

Find it difficult to navigate around this site, am sure this has been asked before. Can anyone recommend a good reasonably priced place to get Leica M6 and M7's serviced and lenses calibrated, including Non Leica Nikon and Jupiter LTM lenses?
Regards

If I were you I would have a word with Ivor at Red Dot Cameras. I know that he has a repair man that covers most of his work, he may be able to help.

Best,

normclarke.

Not sure about the non Leica stuff but for the m6 m7 I can recommend Peter at CRR just north of London in Dunstable 01582 570395. Very high quality work at a fair price . For the non Leica stuff perhaps try Sendean Cameras in St Anne's Court.

Could any of the above CLA and perform the MP rangefinder upgrade to an M6 or would that need to go back to leica? My M6 needs a clean out and the viewfinder is very prone to flare.

I would give Peter a ring at CRR sounds like the sort of thing he does

Thanks for that!

I've had good experiences with Red Dot too, and The Classic Camera. Sendean, only ever got an exorbitant quote, never any actual work.

I am in London and have been to both- I will drop them a line.

Red Dot serviced an M6 for me last year. All good, nice to deal with and camera's been perfect since.

Graham Playford in London Bridge can also do Leica M equipment - I've had a couple of things CLA'd by him, and I know he's been used in the past by Classic Camera.

Not Sendean, unless they've improved drastically in the last few years. All the cameras I had done there came back no better than when they went in, and in a few cases noticeably worse.

A pity because the old repairman there did beautiful work and loved classic cameras.

Peter at CRR Luton. A real gent, always helpfull when I ring with technical questions and his work on an M4 I had was perfect.

Another vote for Peter at CRR Luton.
