Best Place to get Canon lens CLA'd?

[januaryman]

Well, I now have two Canon lenses and they would benefit greatly from being CLA'd and colimnated. While I've had work done on camera bodies, I have no experience in this department, other than an FSU lens that was done by Fedka.

Any suggestions? Any estimate on what this costs?

Thanks in advance for any advice/info.

I have been very happy with service from both Don Goldberg at DAG Camera and Pete Smith of Fotocamera Repair, Inc. Comparable on prices for CLAs, significantly faster turn-around time from Pete Smith (usually 10 days or so). Both are very good folks to do business with. While Pete is most renown for his work on Nikon stuff, he has done excellent work on 5 or 6 of my LTM Canons.

I second the recommendation of DAG. Don's worked on my P, and I've been v happy w/ the results.

Is there something wrong w/ them? I follow the philosophy of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" especially w/ Canon LTM lenses. Try 'em out w/ a test roll and look at the results. There's a 90% chance you'll be surprised....ansd and save your bucks.

Any idea on cost for a lens CLA from Pete Smith? Has anyone had Youxin Ye CLA a lens? I know he does fine work on Leica bodies.

I don't think Youxin does lens work. He doesn't work at all on Canon bodies either.
