Introduction
Leica repairs costs
There’s no two ways around it: Leica repairs are expensive. They are expensive to buy because they are hand made but they are expensive to repair because the technical know-how is getting rarer and rarer. In short, not everyone can repair Leicas. So by default, not including parts, you can have a baseline of about $500 minimum.
Time is also another issue. If you can it is always better to visit the repair center as you will most likely be bumped in front of the line as shipping and repair time can month-long. Since Leica repairs are in demand, many technicians have a large backlog of repairs.
Leica repairs vs CLA
If your Leica isn’t what it used to be, it probably doesn’t even need repairs per se but some Cleaning, Lubricating and adjusting. Since this is routine servicing, the costs are about $300. For a cost estimate and information, check out this Leica CLA article.
Leica M9 Repairs
The Leica M9 had a design flaw that made its sensor prone to corrosion. Leica announced that they would no longer be able to repair the M9 sensor in August 2020. There are currently two third-party companies that can repair the corroded sensor. Those are Kolarivision and Maxmax. The repairs are about $1000-$1500.
