Hi everyone! I am new to this forum but have been a lurker for a few years. I am looking at getting a rare 135mm 3.5 lens repaired for my Koni Omega Rapid M as the leaf shutter lens has become stuck. I spoke to Weber Camera recently and they said they would be unable to due to declining health. Though they were my only lead for someone specialized in Koni Omega system repairs.

I have also tried contacting Mr. Paul Ebel with no response so far inquiring about repairs. If anyone knows someone who can repair leaf shutter camera lenses, please let me know. Thank you!

Attached is the last picture I took with the lens for rare lens tax.

Welcome.
You may find that your thread title is more specific than it need be.
There are a fair number of experienced leaf shutter repair people out there. Many of them might have enough experience with the Koni-Omega system to be able to perform normal service on it.
The shutter itself is probably fairly common.

The Koni Omega system uses the Seiko 700 series shutters which are very similar (practically the same with just some differences in how the shutter is cocked) to the shutters that Mamiya used for the Press series and C series TLR cameras so any technician familiar with the Mamiya can service the Koni Omega shutters.
