The US franchised repairmen (all Wetzlar-trained, and most of them
Deutschers) would be your best choice.  Some time ago, I used Freddie
Werner in the DC area (Freddies Cameras) and he replaced a smashed front
element on a DR Summicron.   also, ask Richard tillis at Woodmere camera
in NY -- he is mostly a Leica person.
