Another Leica M3 Gets a Reboot

Submitted by Double Negative on June 19, 2015 - 10:45am

Chuck Miller over at the Times Union newspaper up in Albany, NY - was gifted a lovely, slightly tattered Leica M3 a while back. He goes on to say that it needed a CLA (not an "LCA") and new leather, as the vulcanite had seen better days. Some quick work by a name that should be familiar to all - Sherry Krauter - and it was looking (and working) as good as new again! Congrats on a beautiful camera that should last another lifetime or two! Happy shooting, Chuck.
