I have a M4 which needs repair, the rangefinder is slipping. Would you send the camera to Leica or would you send it to a private repair person and if so who do you recommend? Thanks

It would help if you could pin down your location on the planet. My favourite Leica tech is Gerry Smith of Kindermann Canada. Here is a site with his contact info as well as that of other recommended techs:

Sherry @ Golden touch did a wonderful job of fixing up my M4.

Either of the above, plus Don Goldberg (DAG Camera Repair) in Wisconsin. The website LHSA.org has all their addresses.

Bob, You have just been given the three best people in the business in North America. One addition for lenses is VanStelten in Colorado. Go with it...
