Hello,
I've got a RE.Auto-Topcor 1:1.8 f=5.8cm lens which is unfortunately not working anymore.
The focusing mechanism is somehow sticking.
Therefore I've asked both recommended repair shops from this site whether they would be able to repair it.
Outcome unfortunately zero, i.e. both shops in London and Budapest didn't answer to my request.
Are they still in operation?
Has anybody information as to how to contact them in a better way?
Does anybody know a repair shop for Topcon lenses?
I would prefer mainland Europe (shipping cost!).
Somehow it would be a pitty to throw the lens away....
Regards, Thomas

Firstly check if focusing barrel has been hit in anyway. In this case it is practically impossible to service the lens.
You might contact Marcus (Italy): https://www.facebook.com/pages/Doctor-Photo/121072770442
I've heard some good reports.

Many thanks for your responses.
However, I still have to make up my mind, whether it is worth to repair the lens.
Regards, Thomas
