You can always Google Kindermann Canada and ask Gerry Smith for an estimate. He
has been doing Leicas for his entire career and he knows what he's doing. A CLA
for a Leica M costs about $200-$250, if there are no parts to replace. he has
done two of mine and the results have been great.
he told me that he has done cameras "from around the world".

Subject: [LRflex] Leica R6.2 CLA by Leica at Solms
I sent my Leica R6.2, which has been working fine to the best of my knowledge,
to Solms for an estimate to do a CLA. Estimate came back at Euros 772!
Entails complete disassembly, and adjusting everything, etc. I was stunned at
the price and question if the camera is worth the cost. I also sent my Leica
R8 to Solms because the camera was scratching the film. That was only Euros 50
and they said the camera was fine otherwise.
I am not a long-time user of either camera and I like both. Do I really have
such a jewel with the R6.2 that it makes sense to pay for a like-new camera (an
assumption by me) ? I shoot high res BW in both cameras and have been equally
pleased with results in both cameras. I am planning some expensive trips to
India and elsewhere to shoot temples, etc. and I do want reliability.
Thoughts and advice? Thanks in advance.
Kevin
