"These old cameras are like that", my foot.

So put the lens on another body ((Leica, Bessa, FSU, whatever) and put the body in a drawer, and get on Henry Scherer's wait list.

C'mon, there is no need of getting on that stupid "waiting list" just for an infinity rangefinder calibration job, which any average skilled person can perform within less than an hour !

Henry Scherer's waiting list is a joke. It's not like he is the only person doing quality work on Contaxes in the US, or is he? Seems hard to imagine (I mean, in Germany I know at least three). I think he's a bad case of hype.

At the rates he's charging, you could send your camera to Germany to a former official Zeiss Ikon service center and have it back almost three years earlier and for less money.
