Can anyone suggest a repair company that has an optical bench? I called SK Grimes and they don't have a bench and have a call into Schneider's optical service but haven't had a response. I also don't know if they service any lenses other than Schneider. I tried Fuji but they never imported them and getting to someone that knows anything is a problem. I'm guessing that shims have been lost at some point. Any thoughts?
