Linholf Technika Super-Angulon Schneider-Kreuznach 1:8/65

[Chris623]

I have a beautiful Linholf Technika Super-Angulon Schneider-Kreuznach 1:8/65 lens. It's in pristine condition. No scratches on the lens or even cleaning marks. However, it's not been used in many years and the grease must have congealed because the lower 3 shutter speeds are seriously lagging............so I imagine the others are suffering also. (I don't have the lab equipment to verify that) I've never sent a lens like this out for commercial cleaning. Might anyone have any idea what it might cost to do that proceedure?

I would expect it to cost +/- $150 or so...plus shipping both ways.

Hmmmmm. Any recommendations as to where to send it?

In the past I've used Flutot's: https://www.flutotscamerarepair.com/

Carol there has done very good work, but lately I haven't been able to get a response--perhaps she's too busy.

So my current batch of shutters for repair are being sent to Zacks: https://zackscamerarepair.com/

I've never used him before, but I've heard many good things.

Thanks for that. I'll send off an email to Zacks and see what kind of response I get.
