dropped voigtlander 35 1.4

[jane7l]

just a few days before new year i accidentally dropped my loved cv 35 1.4 on a concrete floor. glass and body didn't suffer, but the mount and focusing thread did. i would like to have it repaired. i wonder is there a service in europe (austria, germany, italy, maybe uk...), as we don't have one in slovenia?

thanks, happy new year

In Europe, contact Voigtlander Germany.

First, bad luck. This is not a fun occurrence.

I have a 21/f4 from Voigtlander and just checked the box, retrieved from the back of a cupboard. There is no stockist or repair information in their instruction sheet it seems.

The Voigtlander site (www.voigtlaender.com) shows no official importer for Slovenia, so perhaps you have to choose the nearest convenient country if you want official service? If not, then one would be looking for general camera and optical repair services - this is reasonable as the lens is not covered under the manufacturers guarantee after the accident. Presumably the lens doesn't fall under any household damage insurance? <--- wild optimism

There are repairers in, at least, Germany and Holland for sure, but regarding spares availability and costs I have no idea. Depending on the damage you may find that cine technical companies may also be able to help. Please complete the thread when you have a solution worked out then others can learn from your ideas.

And good luck!
