Not Sherry Krauter - I would only send M cameras to her and just for repairs. If only I had someone like Schere for my SM Leicas, then perhaps I'd still have them.

The glass glows and is flawless, he even managed to create a special replacement paint (baked on) that actually sticks to the metal (apparently the alloy Zeiss used for a few short runs was something paint doesn't stick to very well). The camera simply purs now, I cannot recommend him high enough. Truly a work of art, I basically received a brand new camera back. Took me over 1.5 years of waiting, but it was well worthit.All in all he worked his magic on a IIa Color Dial, 50/1.5 Sonnar, 85/2 Sonnar, 135/4 Sonnar and 35/2.8 Biogon. Have run a few rolls of Kodachrome64 through it and am excited waiting for the results.

The Sonnar 1.5/50 front element was polished slightly and looks like new; the RF was cleaned and it`s easy to focus now. Eddy only changed the cameratop cover 'cause the original was bent slightly, I regret a bit thereplacement, the original (Eddy sent me it again)top cover black band is engraved "Alemania" -Germany in Spanish- from factory, an uncommon detail; anyway the new top cover looks very good. I hope to try the camera with filmfor the next weeks, I'm very happy with the CLA results.Thanks again Marc, Daniel and other members to recommend Eddy, I'm verysatisfied with his service, price and kind treatment.- Carlos Yahoo!
