A few years ago I purchased an APO lanthar 150mm for $300 due to the poor condition of the coating. I dropped it with John Van Stelton to be recoated. He did fine work.

Here's the link for John Van Stelton at Focal Point, it's not easy to find even with Google :D

Now that SK Grimes doesn't do lens de-/re- cementing and Focal Point/John Van Stelten is closed for good, who do you recommend? Thanks!
Does anyone know of a good replacement for focal point now that John has retired?
I've not tried: https://www.ducloslenses.com Worth a shot, I guess. Feedback appreciated.

Unfortunately, it appears that they don't do still camera lenses, based upon their FAQ page. I was hoping that they'd be an option.
A lens is a lens and asking is cheap. Not all cine lenses are tiny.
Ask Duclos what they can do for you and the price.
I asked Duclos about one of my lenses, and they said no, they just work on cine lenses.
