Servicing of Nikkor LTM Lenses

Hacker · 29th April 2008

Anyone has any recommendations for local servicing? Or am I better off just to send it overseas? I have heard horror stories of Mint Leica bodies coming back with some scratches and I have seen the work area of some of the folks, very scary indeed.

Also, do they actually clean the aperture blades?

Try DE camera consultant at Grandlink square at paya laber , his service i think can consider better than most shop around.

I second that.. i've been there.. his work space is scary.. but he knows what he is doing. If you ask him to service a lens.. he wont just lube and clean what is obvious.. he will dismantle everything and make sure it gets a thorough CLA.. he will advise you against it because if the lens

rice ratio is not good.. because for the work he does.. it does cost a bit of money.. but your equipment is in safe hands

He will do a good cleaning job but will not fix your problem. I send in my canon 50mm f1.2 for cleaning. The lens is misalign , told me not possible to CLA to a leica body. Camera Hospital Steven later help me tweaked abit. Now slightly better but I am going to send DAG in US for CLA.

What about P&G? Heard they have a collimator? Anyone can confirm?

David does a good job and his price is not cheap. He show me before. I used his service before trying others.. Found his to be very good.. Anyone tried Don Goldberg from DAG Camera repair USA???
