Bob...A number if years ago I had the gentlemen you mentioned George J Mrus
CLA a Retina IIa that I bought new at a PX that served me well for many
years of travel and the early years of family life as well as a Retina IIIc
that I purchased a couple of years after...More recently I sent him a Retina
Ia that I rescued at a flea market for $5 that he beautifully restored...I
recommend him highly and hope he continues to service these wonderful
cameras for many years to come...Martin
