The Leica III, In my opinion, it's THE symbol of photo-journalism.
For me it is the Nikon F or Speed Graphic. :blushing:
The cost to bring the body into good shape with Youxin Ye is a fraction of that cost, so don't use Camtec. I would not use them for the Sonnar, either.

So Youxin price for a CLA, new shutter curtains, and a new beamsplitter is $210. An extra $40 for a new body cover. That is what he did with my Leotax D-IV. The viewfinder was unusable before he rebuilt it.
Unless the lens wobbles from side-to-side, the focus ring being a little loose has no effect on the RF coupling. The RF cam moves 1:1 with the optics. The front element is held in my the namering.

DAG has worked on Sonnars before.

I've worked on a few, a couple that had been to Henry Scherer first. If you cannot find someone to look at it, let me know.
