(178mm) f/2.5 that I would like to have cleaned for some minor dust and fungus spots. As there is no one here in the islands that is willing to work on it. So.............. Are there any lens repair services that you all would recommend? Somewhere on the west coast of the US would be nice. Thanks in advance! Aloha, George
