Hi,
I recently bought a lovely Zeiss Contax mount 4.0/85 Triotar. The lens is in great shape cosmetically. The glass is clean with only minor dust. All those blades are clean and the aperture ring is smooth.
Now for the bad news. The grease in the helicoid has dried and focusing is stiff, still possible but it needs a re-lube.
Can anyone recommend a source in the US where I can get it done?
Thanks in advance.

Henry Scherer with Zeiss camera repair would also be good but may be even more backed up. I bought a fully restored Contax IIA from him about 1 1/2 years ago eith a 50/2 Sonnar and subsequently an 85/2 Sonnar and they're all beautiful to look at and mechanically/optically perfect.
