I got another e-mail where they stated they have to send the lens to Solms
(!) There they would replace the flange anyway and this is their flat rate.
Anyway they will CLA my Leicaflex SL (mainly to change the strap lugs) and
they are still willing to clean the lens for free. Very nice from them!
Their turnaround time is two weeks. That`s good too!
I got another idea: looking at the cams of my 50mm summicron and 28mm
elmarit, they look identical, can I instal the second cam from my 28mm lens
to my 50mm? (will there be any problems with spacers?)
Thanks,
Miha
