holmes Posted August 24, 2009 Share #4 Posted August 24, 2009 my R6.2. I had sent it to Don approximately 4 weeks ago and it was shipped out this morning. Don views camera service in two ways. A 3/4 service or a full blown 100% going over. Mine was a 3/4 for $100.00 USD. Return shipping extra. We chatted on the phone as to what he found and it was basically some cleaning and new oil and a few minor things. Now that's the way a repair service should operate, regardless of country. Don Goldberg is considered probably the finest Leica R and M service in the country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Goldberg is considered probably the finest Leica R and M service in the country. He has had a pair of my cameras for three months, and doesn't answer emails. Sounds like selective service.

Many of these small operations don't have a good track record with email. Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_n Posted August 25, 2009 Share #7 Posted August 25, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) In a very long thread on another forum a lot of people chipped in with their experiences and advice. DAG apparently has a waiting list of over 200 items, and I for one have reluctantly stopped sending him stuff. Don is a wonderful man, does incredible work, but it can take a very, very long time. It got to the point where the wait was too long and I now have a new Leica tech. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasw_ Posted August 26, 2009 Share #8 Posted August 26, 2009 ........ It got to the point where the wait was too long and I now have a new Leica tech. I love Don's work, too. But the wait is a problem. Peter --- who are you using now? I have a summilux I want to send for a cleaning, etc.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a summilux I want to send for a cleaning, etc..Thomas I've used Steve Choi at Steve's Camera Service Center. My last CLA there was a Wetzlar 35mm Summicron v.1 and he did a very good job and the turnaround was 3 weeks. Recently there were one or two posts about him in the long thread over at RFF about Don, not all of them complimentary. However my own experience with Steve has been good.

mooky Posted August 28, 2009 Share #10 Posted August 28, 2009 I never email any service questions; it's always a phone call. I've never had problems with Don. He's human and I believe DAG is still a one man operation. That's not to say others may have not an issue, just that he's always done right by me. It probably wouldn't hurt to establish a list of high-end, experienced, and trained Leica repair sources here on the L-Forum to be easily available including what their specialties may be - screw-mount, M, R, lenses, etc.so it would be easier to find.
