Leica MDa repair
I have acquired a Leica MDa body with shutter speed issues that I knew about. My first choice repairer is bunged out at the moment. Apart from Newton Ellis, can anyone recommend a reliable repairer? I have looked at our "Links" but the relevant entries there were all added a while back.

You could try Hi Tech Camera Repairs, in Newcastle, Staffs. Tel. 01782 713544
They did a good job for me not too long ago. Alan |

Michael, give them a ring. I think you will find them very helpful. And not expensive...

OK. Alan first: thank you for the recommendation. HiTech can take it on with a possible 2 week turnaround (I've told Paul there that it's not urgent); so it will go off tomorrow.
Paul next. Here you are: body, top view and then the minimum arrangement for being able to compose with a 9cm lens. Tripod not included, as they say on eBay. |

The main thing I wondered was, why doesn't it have the usual eye viewer and rangefinder windows? Is it designed to just use wide to ultra wide lenses, making the above things unnecessary? And what was it about it that made you buy it? Many thanks, Terry S |

It has the Leica engraving on the top. My M6 doesn't and wish it had. I believe the MP ?and M7? has. Why not the M6?

Mike, your question interested me: my small Leica library doesn't come up to the dates in question! But I did find this overview of all the M models. Along with being pretty comprehensive, it does remark on the change from engraving to stamp in its description of the M4-2. I think the cutaways are particularly nice, too.

Mike PS I can't get rid of that smiley thing which only appears when I post or save it. It is supposed to be a colon after 'Leica.......' above. Last edited by Bob; 25th February 2021 at 11:45 AM. Reason: Preventing inappropriate grinning thing.... |
