Has anybody had a CLA on their M10?
Do they still put on a new leatherette or is it just a check, clean, adjust and lube?
Anybody know how much money it is these days?

Thank you,
Mark

I recently (on August 8th, 2024) dropped off my Leica M10-P for repair and a CLA (Clean, Lubricate, Adjust). The problem I was experiencing involved the LCD, and according to Leica USA, it was caused by an issue with the image processing motherboard. The new board costs about $650 USD, plus a service fee of $670. The invoice includes cleaning, adjusting the rangefinder, adjusting the sensor, and several other services. Without the motherboard issue, I assume the fee would be close to $700 USD (including $50 for new leatherette, which I believe is necessary since it needs to be removed for the repair). However, I’ve heard somewhere that the total cost of CLA might be around $900 USD.

Digital Ms rarely if ever need a CLA. Only if there is a specific problem. I would never hand my camera to Leica for months on end and a hefty bill if there is no need.

If it ain’t broke. Don’t fix it.
