telerolleiflex separation repair

[xenohip]

Anyone know where to have a Tele-Rolleiflex sent for cleaning and re-cementing lens elements that show major balsam separation?

Neither Focal Point nor SK Grimes seem to do this anymore...

The 135mm Sonnar still renders photos that are quite amazing, even with heavy separation!

Thanks for the recommendation, Dante.
The camera went out to Kanto today.

Were Kanto able to assist you @xenohip ?

Thanks. I’ve emailed them for a quote. I was sad to discover my Tele Rollei has suddenly developed pretty acute separation. Fingers crossed, it could use a service anyway.

Sorry to have dropped out of this thread...
Kanto did an absolutely beautiful job with my Tele Rolleiflex.
It makes gorgeous images.
