Canada Lens Repair in Canada?

[Nando]

Hi everyone,

A few weeks ago, I screwed up my beloved CZJ 20mm Flektogon - literally. I decided to try a cheap hood and it got stuck to the lens. I used a bit of force when trying to remove the hood and unfortunately, I accidentally unscrewed the front part of the lens. I screwed the front part of the lens back in but now the lens won't focus. I turn the focusing ring and nothing happens.

Anyway, I posted in the Evil SLR section asking if someone can recommend a good repair person. Unfortunately, nobody replied. I was wondering if anybody here would know of a good repair person in Canada that I could try.

Thanks.

Try Gerry at Kindermann Canada.

Just stumbled on this thread - try giving David Yau a call - don't know if he can fix it or not but it's worth a try:

Thanks guys - I'll try contacting both Gerry@Kindermann and David Yau.

David Yau just aligned the RF on my M6 TTL. He does reliable work and is honest to deal with.

Well, I'm sending the lens off to David Yau tomorrow morning. I hope that all goes well. Again, thanks for helping.

Fernando,

I'll be going up to see David sometime this week. Do you need me to mention anything to him?

Cheers
Dave

ETA: Gotta take my M2 in as the shutter's jammed 🙁 I trust him though and I've seen the work he does so it should be "all good" 😀

Hi Dave,

Thanks for looking out for me. I don't think I need to you to mention anything to David but I guess it would be nice if you could just say hello for me. To bad about your M2. If you trust him with your M2 then I feel very good about sending him my Flektogon.

Regards,

Hi,

Just wanted to let everyone know that David Yau did an absolutely fantastic job on the lens. It is better than now than when I first got it. Thank you very much for your help guys.
