The Classic Camera
REPAIRS AND SERVICING.
Leica camera and lenses are among the most dependable on the planet. Stories of their ruggedness and reliability are legion. But even Leica equipment sometimes goes wrong. Proof that even the best made cameras and lenses will eventually need servicing. The Classic Camera can service just about every camera and lens ever made by Leica. From a 1930s screw body. to the latest M7, if it's Leica we will endeavour to fix it. Promise. A general service on a Leica M, R, or Screw body costs £149+ VAT; .servicing a lens (M, R, and Screw) costs £79+VAT - in both cases assuming no major parts being necessary. For more involved repairs, a estimate can be provided. Incidentally, don't wait for your camera or lens to break down before getting it seen to; regular servicing - clean, lubricate, adjust - is strongly recommended to keep your Leica in tip-top condition. All work is carried out by Leica trained technicians and work is guaranteed for six months.
