Hello Everyone!

I just got Leica M9 with some sensor cover glass corrosion. I’m in dilemma where to send the camera for repair either to Kolari Vision or Maxmax? Any recommendation? What was your experience with these companies? Please share.
I also came across on company, not sure if it’s in China or Japan who does work on cover glass (link is below) Any info on them or address to reach?

Thanks so much!!!

I have posted my experience with Kolari Vision here, and it was fairly positive. 

I also shared detailed costings (tax) as I live in Australia.

Thanks Jeff for the info! Very impressive really! Where did you get this cover glass? Is it exactly the same in thickness as original 0.5-0.7mm to get correct focusing?
