Zeiss lens cleaning recommended technician

[largedrink]

My Carl Zeiss Biogon 21mm f4.5 lens for Contax postwar rangefinder has sadly developed some internal fungus. Can anyone recommend (ideally through first-hand experience) a technician who could clean this as well as other Contax RF Zeiss lenses? I know of Henry Scherer, any others?

You could ask Mark Hansen in Wisconsin. He has a hankering to work on Contax cameras. I think it is zeisscamerarepair.com

I've had several lenses and Contax bodies cleaned and repaired by Henry Scherer. His work is excellent and I would recommend him highly for this.

Henry Scherer and Mark Hansen are great suggestions. Don Goldberg services Contax RF lenses. Jim at Vermont Camera Works, too.

All come highly recommended. I've worked with Henry and Don the most -- always impeccable work.

Skyllaney in the UK will work on the Contax lenses.

Not sure if anyone is closer to New Zealand.

Will Van Manen did fix me and reclaimed an intensive cultivation of poisonous mushrooms into my Leitz Summarit 50/1.5.
After its cure the lenses shine like De Beers diamonds.
Sorry, his “Hospital” is located in The Netherland, Europe.
