DAG Camera Repair

I had a 50mm f2 Summicron with a loose built in hood, giant front focus, overly light aperture click stops, and a rough spot focusing   Sent it to Mr. Goldberg on Sept 15 and got it back on Sept 25.  CLA and repair all the mentioned issues.  $140 and I'm very pleased with the service.  Should you be interested, he advised that an M240 rangefinder calibration was also about $140 and would take about two weeks.

Also had my mp serviced by don and it's working flawlessly. my experience with don has been far better than dealing with the local repairer camera clinic. Even with our low currency exchange it's surprisingly cheaper too. Would highly recommend don for your beloved leicas

I'm also a big fan of DAG's work. Quality excellent, price quite reasonable. :-)

Hey, Jim! Glad to hear from you.

 

Hope you're well.

I have had great service from DAG.

 

Hi Howard.  Where you been hiding?

He fixed the 'sticky' focus on my 50 Summilux ASPH when Leica could not, and very inexpensively...  http://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/208538-dag-does-what-leica-could-not/

Don's great, he's done a couple M3's and an M6TTL, plus two lenses for me over the years, top notch work.

 

Best,

Hi Howard.  Where you been hiding?

Greetings, Rick! Been doing less photography of late and shutting up more on the forum.

 

Thanks for the hello. Hope things are going well with you!

Don tweaked a lens of mine and I have nothing but good things to say of his service.

[algrove]

7 lenses and counting. No issues.

Anyone have a comment on Sherry Krauter for lens work?

She's a master of repairing M film cameras but wonder whether she is the best for M lenses used on digital.

[hiepphotog]

Don seems to be less hassle to deal with than Sherry, have to call her at certain time, can be less approachable at time.... I guess it's kinda slow nowadays in Leica land, but Don's turn around time is very quick, a little more than a week for me.

She does a very nice job for a reasonable price.

She did a great job on my dual range summicron and type1 50 lux

The lenses I have to send out are the 50 Rigid and 35 Summicron 8-element, but primarily for use on digital. Is DAG a better place to sent it for this or will Sherry's work be equally as good?

[LeicaFan1]

Sherry did a great job replacing the leatherette on my M3 and CLA's on the M3 and a M6.  Quick turnaround and great service.

[rirakuma]

I don't think you can go wrong with either. I sent an inquiry to both, don replied and sherry didn't (I know both people are busy). I eventually needed my mp to be serviced so my business went to don.

There was a horrendous story about DAGs handling of an M5 repair over on RFF last year... He wont be getting my business!

Hallo,

Look here: Leica M

[Sully]

I've sent cameras and lenses to Don for over 35 years.  He is the best.  He just finished repairing a MOOLY-C

winder for me.   This is not easy.  It took a few months, but that's just fine because very few people on the planet

can even do this at all.  When I needed a camera repaired  for professional work, I would tell him I needed it back 

quickly for a job which meant a flight to somewhere.  If he knew I needed it for a job, he would almost always get it back to me on time.  But if I sent him a collector piece (MOOLY-C), then I would tell him to just take his time and do it when he felt like it.  

Don't send him a ragged out IIIb and say you need it for a job next week.  Over the years, I have always told Don

the truth about what I am sending in for work.

 

I would make Don an American National Treasure like Japan does for their super-skilled artists.

 

Ciao,  Sully
