  1. Sometimes the dirt trapped in the lens grip can be too stubborn to be brushed off by a tooth brush. A bamboo chopstick can help. https://lenspotion.com/blogs/news/how-to-clean-the-lens-body
  2. There has been some postings about Leica Custom Service, including from me, on these pages. Most of us tend to comment on things that are not fully agreeable, whereas more pleasant experiences are generally kept silent. So for the sake of balance, let me present a positive experience (and not the first one): Three of my M-lenses needed focus adjustment (plus some repair/fixes). The package was received by Leica in early September. After a few days the initial screening was done and a cost estimate was sent to me. After additional 10 days the adjustments/repair was finished and returned. Based on some initial testing the focus is now spot on for all of the lenses - which is clearly advantageous at f0.95 or f1.4 on a digital M... The above is, perhaps, what to expect. I would nevertheless state that I'm satisfied with the turnaround time and the communication with Custom Service during the repair. Other brands might be quicker and/or have a better communication, but the opposite is possibly more likely. Good.
  3. I have a few older lenses that lack the six-bit codes. Rather than sending them back to Leica, it is easy to attach your own 6-bit-ready flanges. But there are many manufacturers and many prices. Does anyone know where to get the highest quality 6-bit-ready parts suitable for each Leica model lens?
  4. I just sent my Leica D VARIO-ELMARIT 1.2-6.5 14-50 ASPH lens in for repair under warranty to the Bigston Corp in Elk Grove Village IL. They are the Panasonic licensed repair facility. I had to send the camera body along with the lens....at least that is what Panasonic wanted me to do. Problem I am having is that the lens will stop at 18 to 25 when zooming about 50% of the time. A bit of wiggling gets it to go to full zoom. Also at full zoom and lens extension, the front part of the lens is loose and can be moved about 1/8 of an inch. I have no idea what is wrong. I have not used this lens and camera that much. I have probably shot more with my Olympus Zuiko lenses on this body than the kit lens. I hope they turn it around quickly. I am happy that it fits under the 12 month warranty. I have had the camera for 9 months now. Bigston did a good job on the sensor replacement on my LC1 about 7 months ago......however I did have to pay 560.00 USD to have it done because the warranty of 6 months on the CCD was up. I guess that is where the Leica warranty is better......however I paid something under $1100 USD for the LC1 when I bought it new. I don't regret replacing the sensor, because I do love the LC1 and I am happy to have it while my L1 is in for repair. I will report back to the list what we find out just for everyone's general information on this lens. I posted something about this before, but it seemed like I was alone with this problem. Dick
  5. It is very rare to find service nowadays that is courteous and honest. I have been very impressed with my dealing two days ago with Gerry at Kindermann Canada in Markham, Ontario. Gerry was extremely helpful, professional and honest with me when I sent in my summilux- M 35 asph for alignment/repair. I was not charged for the time he took to look at the lens and the lubrication was free. That the lens has to be sent to Solms is because of Leica and their QC. I recommend that folks give their patronage to companies and people that go out of their was to provide professional and honest service to their customers. Thank you Gerry.
