ggriswold Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I have a 120mm f4 Makro-Planar lens with several really big chips in the rear element. Don's ask, I got the lens this way and am trying to find a reasonable way to fix it. I spoke with David Oddess and the rear element must be replaced as a group (that is how the part comes) , that part is $800. The rest of the lens is mint and runs like a top. I have blackened the chips and now don't see any ill effects, but would like to have it the way it is supposed to be. Does anyone have a trashed 120 Makro-Planar or suggestions on where I may look for a "donor" lens for this rear lens group? Any other ideas are welcome. Thank you in advance, George Griswold george@videonow.info 504-831-2009 c-504-874-6535<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivek iyer Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Try and find an S-Planar (barrel) 120/5.6 or the old Hassy S-Planar 120/5.6. Drop me a line when you do have the donor and I can tell you how to match it up with your Makro Planar 120/4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
