Wayne Posted June 9, 2016 Share #2 Posted June 9, 2016 Well, when I sent my M8 into Leica the primary motivation was faulty rangefinder alignment. But as it was probably due for a good CLA anyway, I requested that as well. In addition to CLA and rangefinder alignment- which may be a part of standard CLA- they discovered a faulty rewind motor, adjusted sensor alignment (which I guess could have been the real problem I was having with focus,) and replaced the covering. Final bill was $500.00. I am pretty happy with the result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubkins Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted June 9, 2016 Thanks very much. Looking at used one with this issue so helps price it correctly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernstk Posted June 9, 2016 Share #4 Posted June 9, 2016 My M8 is in Wetzlar now, with an intermittent shutter issue, which they fixed fairly easily during their examination. The camera had been dropped a year ago and they also noted that the sensor alignment was out of spec, I had dead pixels and the rangefinder needed cleaning and adjustment. Their estimate for all that plus a full CLA is 760 Euros. (Not sure which part of Ireland you're in, so that =£592) Ernst Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted June 17, 2016 Share #5 Posted June 17, 2016 If it is just the vertical alignment I would never consider sending the camera to Leica. I would drop by the local camera repIr shop - provided they know about Leicas and wait ten minutes for them to adjust it. I would not expect it to cost the earth. Alternately I would tackle it myself. It is an easy DIY job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
