ReeRay Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Having just returned to the UK I'm surprised to find that the UK Leica dealers do not undertake the rangefinder re-alignment of Leica cameras, instead electing to ship them off to Germany and expecting the owners to wait 12-14 weeks MINIMUM for the return ! My Leica M240 appears to need a slight vertical adjustment and I wonder if anyone knows of a UK based technician who can undertake this task. Many thanks for any response Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Harrison Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Malcolm Taylor has always been the doyen of Leica repairers, however I don't know if he is still operating. How about Aperture in London? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
