Who Cla In Europe

[RubenBlaedel]

Who does a good CLA in northern/western europe
I have not had very good experiences with Danish shops - its like they put 400 USD on the bill before opening the camera.
I am thinking on CLA for Leica, Rolleiflex and Hasselblad (probably at 3 different shops ??)
I would be very happy for recommandations of a trusty place that does not keep your camera for 6 month
cheers Ruben

Hi Reuben,
I have had quite a bit of work done by Mike Spencer who is in Derbyshire, UK. His work is excellent and his prices reasonable. You could try him at http://www.btinternet.com/~camerarepairer/

In Germany there's a Leica repairman, Herr Wiener in Munchen.
He doesn't have an internet site but you might find/google his address over on photo.net.

He CLA'd my M2. 150 euro, payable after the work. He worked quick as well; sending to and fro took almost longer than his work on the camera.

For Leica:
In Germany there is Leica itself. Expensive and about 4 weeks working time. But it's the original if that counts...
Another possibility is Fotomechanik Kielgas in Hannover (http://www.fotomechanik-kielgas.de/). They have a very good reputation but up to now I did not sent my stuff to them for CLA.
