See attached pictures... I’m based in Berlin, looking for a trustworthy workshop in Germany for a CLA (Clean, Lubricate, Adjust.) service. I would be very happy to have your any suggestion.

jaapv Posted May 14, 2020 Share #2 Posted May 14, 2020 Most is dust and scratches, I would say.My advice would be: Kameraservice, Will van Manen. https://www.kamera-service.info/index.php/de/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linlin Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted May 14, 2020 Thanks for the quick reply, I also realised part of the coating is detached... not sure if any workshop can polish it? Do you know any workshop in Germany? I would like to avoid an international shipping, because Covid-19 may make the shipping more complicate. Thank you so much!

earleygallery Posted May 14, 2020 Share #4 Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) I bought a few items off ebay recently - I'm in the UK - and the only parcel ordered from abroad (from Germany) was quickest to arrive. Alternatively try contacting your nearest Leica dealer, they often have 'local' repair techs for used equipment.

To be honest: if there isn't a lot of emotional value attached to this lens it makes no sense to spent money on this . If its only cleaning-ok, but if the coating is coming off... theoretically you can take off the coating, have it recoated. But that will not get rid off the fungus... and so on. Seems better to move on. K. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linlin Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted May 15, 2020 Thank you for the suggestion, I may not make a new coating and spend too much money on it, but I wish to use this beautiful lens again. By the way, a workshop in Hamburg told me they can fix it, I will report the result and share you some picture in the coming future. Very best.
