I got to osaka Japan yesterday and drop my camera today morning...now the filter ring is stucking on the front of the lens and the forcus ring is a little bit jam in the 1M.

 

I called Leica tokyo and told me they need a month to repair but i am leaving next week. I really need a local place where i can fix my lens quickly.

 

 

Anybody and give me a hand???? thx for tons of million........

 

God bless...

There is a large camera store that sells Leica close to the Hilton Osaka. Sorry, can't remember the name, but if you walk past the Hilton coming from the station it is on a street on the left. You could try there....

 

thank you so much for your reply. i will check that store tomorrow first thing. Do you remember its only a store or a store with some repair service?

It's just a store I think, but since they also deal in secondhand there is a fair chance they will know where to get things repaired, if they can't do it themselves

A bit of googling found the name of the store I suggested above. Looks like they are a Leica Boutique now as well:

Ouch. A similar misadventure happened to me years ago (not in Osaka, though). I had brought only one lens with me on a short trip and the aperture blades got jammed.

Since I could not locate a suitable repair shop - or one that could do the job quickly enough - and smartphones were yet to appear back then, I ended up buying a very cheap (20$ or so) used Russian lens, so that I could keep taking pictures.

FWIW, I still have (and occasionally use) the lens...

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER! I find that store and they manage to get my lens back but camera is not ok unless i left it there for a week. So this film trip turned to be another digital trip...I also bought a camera PENTAX Q7 there, maybe spend some money will bring me some good luck. Thx a lot and i will move to kyoto tomorrow.
