CRR (Camera Repairs & Restoration) for Leica in England

This appears to be the last resort for my Leica M3 with the blacked out
finder. According to their website http://www.angelfire.com/biz/Leica/
they are able to fix the finder by resilvering the prisms and re-cementing
them.

My question is this: has anyone on this group used their services? Can I
rest easy in the knowledge that my M3, should I decide to send it to them
for repairs, will be safely returned to me in South Africa?

Many thanks.

Yes, you can safely use Peter.

He used to work for Leica, and was trained by them in Wetzlar,
he is probably one of the best independant Leica Technicians around,
maybe even better than those still working for Leica.

Good Luck

If it doesn't work out with CCR, I've listed some options in Germany.

I know the last one (Wiese): He's probably the cheapest, but I don't
know if he does resilvering.

Safety: Shipping would be insured anyway, and will probably account for
a good part of the bill...

That's good news! Thanks!

The bad news is that he seems to be swamped and is only accepting new work
in June. :-(

Chris, thanks very much for the information. If I don't come right with
CRR Luton I will pursue these options.

Many thanks.
