Eastgreenlander Posted April 11, 2016 Share #1 Posted April 11, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I recently bought a Leica M5 very cheap and I need to get it repaired. Framelines are not clear, shutter deal is very loose and film feed is unreliable. Do any one have an alternative to get it repaired/CLAed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrawberryJam Posted April 11, 2016 Share #2 Posted April 11, 2016 http://www.sherrykrauter.com/ Anyone who buys an M5 should know about Sherry Krauter. She's one of the world's leading experts on the M5 and CL models. She is the go-to person for any maintenance needs, including the conversion of these cameras to use currently available batteries. She also has some info on a range of M5 serial numbers to avoid. (From photo.net) Film winding lever and shutter speed dial is sticky on mine but can live with it for now.

TomB_tx Posted April 11, 2016 Share #3 Posted April 11, 2016 DAG Camera (Don Goldberg) did a great job on mine, but I think Sherry Krauter (also USA) is known more for her work on them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NB23 Posted April 12, 2016 Share #5 Posted April 12, 2016 Sheery krauter is so expensive it's insulting. I'd go with DAG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl E Posted April 12, 2016 Share #6 Posted April 12, 2016 I sent my M5 to Claus Reinhardt in Hannover last year and he did a very nice job on cleaning and adjusting it, including recalibrating the meter to take modern batteries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpavich Posted April 13, 2016 Share #7 Posted April 13, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've had good service from both Sherry and DAG. In my opinion, DAG is the shizzle for reasonable price, knowing his stuff, and reasonable turnaround time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
asiafish Posted April 20, 2016 Share #8 Posted April 20, 2016 I second the recommendation for Sherry Krauter. I think she is the best Leica technician out there, which on the M5 is even more important. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
