Address for M6 repair on Eastcoast

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Leica Photography : One Thread

Hello everybody,

can anyone give me a reliable address for repairing my M6 in the US. I am living for two years here and of course my camera started giving me troubles. The exposure times are not accurate (I mean not accurate at all), there seems to be a problem with the start of the second courtain especially concerning the exposure times driven by the clockwork responsible for 1/50 and upwards. In addition the rangefinder needs adjustment. Any idea how expensive this is in the US? At home in Switzerland I have an excellent retired Leica mechanic who repairs this for around 200$. I appreciate your comments on that. Thanks a lot.

Sorry, forgot to mention where I live. I live in Philadelphia, so if anyone knows a good photo shop in the area I would greatly appreciate your comments. Thanks Johannes
