Say Thanks To Keith and the rebirth of the Steinheil Culminar 85mm/f2.8

[roundg]

Yes, I am the one who got the free Steinheil Culminar f2.8 85mm from Keith months ago. Thanks again for the generous of Keith.

It's the premise that I can get the lens free as I will repair the lens ans use it. It's said there was oil on the blade and some oil even went to the inner side of the first glass.

After I received the lens, I realized more work need to be done and beyond my capability. The focus was a bit stiff as the grease aged, so the grease need to be replaced. And there was some dust inside, so it need a total clean work.

So I sent the lens to one experience repairman in China. It cost me 40USD for the repair excluding shippment.

Now it is......as good as when it left the factory. and I must say what a beautiful lens.

Here are some photos of the lens now.

Dear Roger_Luo,

If u are in Beijing, u can go to Wukesong and try to look for Mr Hua Haijun. He is an experienced repairman on Hass and other cameras.

Cheers,
Robin
