Short doc about Youxin Ye, Leica tech extraordinaire, coming this weekend

Excellent! Thank you. I've met Youxin and been to his home several times. Nice man and good repair person.

Lots of good reviews/anecdotes on the 'net regarding Youxin.

Nice little article with some great images:

During my last visit. Youxin CLA'd my 2nd IIIf/Leicavit, and Wen (his wife) gently cleaned the glass elements of the 50 LTM Summicron (Youxin disassembles the lens for her and then he reassembles).

A great team!
 
That sounds like fun, I will definately watch it. Youxin has cleaned a number of lenses for me, and did a great job on an M2 i used to have. I am also surprised that he does not charge more for his services.
 
Youxin has cleaned a Nikon 5cm/2 and also checked out CLA'd the Sears Tower 35 camera. I will try to watch the documentary on him. Thanks.
 
Sometime ago I was reading here at RFF what if he couldn't figure it out it is going to D.A.G.
But his strong point was in willingness for CLA of made in Japan LTM cameras, big plus.
 
When I picked up a well-used M6 a few years back, I drove it over to Youxin's place, and he tuned it up for me while I waited! We had a nice conversation while he worked on the camera. He barely charged me anything, and walked me out to my car! He is definitely a treasure.

Great to "meet" him as I have had many a Leica CLA'd by him. Nice to know it is a family affair.
 
Here it is! And it's beautiful!

Touching video - especially his references/connection to his Dad. Bravo! Well shot and produced.

This appears to be his new home as the address on his web site is different than his older address I have in my contacts. Looks beautiful!
