Hi I have been given a Leciaflex mk1 SLR sn 1123648 with a Summicron -r 1:2/50 lens sn 2501068. It is in excellent condition except it will not cock the shutter.
1. Is this a know fault with this camera and can it be fixed.
2. Is it worth fixing?
3. Does anyone know a good Lecia repairer.
By the way I am a new member who has been lurking in the background. I normally use Pentax camera's of which I have a embarrassedly large number of (according to the wife !!)
So hello to everybody. |

Someone sold a mint condition one of these, without the lens, for US$660 http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250456073551. The Summicron-r 50mm type 1 lens is valued at about $150.
I imagine you could get a repair done for much less than that.

I THINK this is a common problem with Leicaflex cameras, as there is a weak point in the shutter mechanism. I'll bet with the repair (and a CLA) by cameraserviceone, you are going to have a SWEET piece of gear!
Hard to beat getting the camera and lens for FREE!  Might as well bring it up to a good condition again, and you might have decades of shooting ahead of you with this fine camera.
