Anybody have a US based lens repair service they recommend? I futz with low value items (and ruin some dammit!* ) but more expensive items I would like to send to a trained and vetted professional.
*Like the Canon FD 100mm 2.8 ssc that had a tiny spot of fungus on the inside of the base lens I thought I could easily remove. You kno the three inward facing screws on the base? I though that was just a barrier to keep debris out of the interior. Nope. Its the bottom of a bearing race. When I took it out about a hundred (OK not that many but lots!) of ~1mm ball bearings jumped all over. Some inside the helicoid. If anyone is interested in fixing it it is for sale on e-bay. _________________ photos are moments frozen in time |
