Hi dear forum members,

Recently I noticed that my M6 has a light leak. It needs new light seal.

1. What would be your recommendation for the best price-quality service in the EU territory?

2. How much did you pay for a full M camera service (cleaning and lubricating)?

Many thanks for your answers

Are you sure this is the result of light leaks in the camera and not some sort of processing error? The streaks appear to be too random to me.

What do the actual negs look like?

Same light leaks appear on last 2 film rolls but not on all shots. Can't find any pattern of these errors. Negatives show the same results. Anyway camara is about 30 years old and I didn't know is any service was done in these years. I've been owning it for 5 years and done 60 rolls.

Here is a link to Leica Customer services forms. The original M6 and M6 TTL had felt shutter seals that can degrade. When the MP was introduced they were changed to a longer lasting polymer material. Hope this helps, welcome to the forum and post a few photos from time to time:
