Nikon RF LTM Lenses Repairman needed

[evan_dong1]

I have several Nikon RF LTM lenses that I would like to have serviced.

The majority of the lenses would required a good CLA, in which I would like to

have it recolliminated, relube, and adjusted to work correctly on my M4-2. The

lenses in question are as following: 50mmF1.4, 50mmF1.4, 85mmF2.0, and 135mmF3.5.

 

One of the lens (Nikon 50mmF5.0 H-C) would however required extraordinary work.

The front filter ring is dented in several areas and I would love to have it

re-tune to allow filters and lens hood to be mounted on it. The thread appear to

be okay. In addition, there appears to be haze and very light cloudiness (not

sure if thats what it is) inside of the interior glass. Beside what I could

visually see, I am hoping that nothing else would further degrade this lens any

further.

 

I would also like to my Leica M4-2 and IIIf body CLA along with the lenses. The

major concern is of for the lenses.

 

Which repairmen / women could work on the Nikon lenses and also on the LTM body

(IIIf) and my M body? I have to decide to either send in everything in one shot

(would of course be expensive to do!) or piece meal it out in an orderly fashion.

 

Is Pete Smith a good repairmen for the Nikon RF lenses and would he have spare

parts to swap out if needed?

Hmmm. For a LTM lens CLA, I'd try DAG - Don at www.dagcamera.com

 

or Sherry Krauter at http://www.sherrykrauter.com/productsPage.php?category=leicaBoxes

DAG has done fine work on my Canon LTM lenses, including straightening a filter ring ding on the 50/1.5.

Sherry will fix the M camera, and the Nikkors,(both highly recommended) but she doesn't do thread mount bodies.

I just talked to Sherry over the weekend she overhauls screw mount/thread mount bodies too......I`m sending a wartime "stepper" rewind to her soon :)
