Hi,
A while ago I inherited quite a bit of gear including an Elmarit 1:2.8/90.
The lens is quite dusty (between the elements as well) and I feel it could benefit from a good clean & service.
Can anyone recommend somewhere in the UK to do this for me & a rough idea of how much it will cost.
I have considered attempting to do it myself, but if this means it will be wrecked then I'd rather pay to have it done.
Thanks for any advice,
Colin

Thank you for this info. I have tried to email him ages ago, but to no avail - I think the email address was an old one.
He was actually a good friend of my step-dad's, from whom I inherited a lot of my camera gear.
Cheers,
Colin

Colin,
Malcolm is very good, but also very expensive. I would suggest CRR in Luton or, given where you live, Newton & Ellis in Liverpool.
Peter at CRR will do a superb job at a fair price. Newton & Ellis are good, but can be a little expensive (I think they sometimes farm the work out and add on a profit margin, bicbw). I always used to go to N&E for work on my Retinas and never had any complaint about the quality of work.
CRR are on 01582 570395
N & E on 0151 236 1391

Thanks for that John - that's definately a bit closer to home.
I will have to make some calls!
Cheers,
Colin
