Quartz Glass Screen Replacement:

• We can now replace the original rear screen glass with new, scratch and fingerprint resistant, anti-reflective coated quartz glass. This is a replacement of the original plastic screen with much harder quartz removing the need for additional screen protectors. Leica M9-P models have Sapphire screen glass which, while harder than plastic, are still softer than quartz.

Rangefinder Alignment Calibration:

• Have you ever had your images come out with the focus short or long? Does your rangefinder’s focus area have a vertical misalignment even when you’re zeroed in? If so you may have a horizontal or vertical rangefinder misalignment that needs recalibrating. Our technicians are well experienced and can accurately recalibrate the focus point and focus cues. You can test if your alignment is out by focusing on a small, high contrast object while looking through the view finder – once focused, if you see both image components are vertically separated than your viewfinder is vertically misaligned. If they’re properly aligned when you shoot the image but the photo comes out focused incorrectly then the rangefinder’s horizontal alignment likely needs recalibrating.

Deep Body Clean:

• Has your viewfinder become foggy over time? Do you have dust spots showing up in your images, or general grime and debris on the exterior body from your photographic expeditions? Our deep body clean will address all of the above! Our Kolari certified technicians will disassemble your Leica M series camera to remove any internal dust on and surrounding components, and will perform a professional sensor cleaning to remove any dust ingress on the sensor itself. We clean both the front and rear sides of all glass elements in the top plate to remove any fog build up over time. We also replace any old, failing skin glue with entirely new strong adhesive tape to ensure the body skin stays securely in place.
