Re-cementing lenses

[kfleming]

Anyone with a lens needing re-cementing might also consider Mark Hansen at Classic Camera Repair (www.ZeissIkonRolleiRepair.com). He just re-cemented the front cell of my ancient uncoated 11 3/4-inch f8 Conley Symmetrical lens (a re-badged Wollensak Versar) and checked it out with a collimator. He did a great job on the lens, and I am pleased with the result. He said he liked working on old, interesting lenses.

Mark Hansen is a terrific guy and provides excellent service. I've used him to repair my Zeiss folders.

I love these posts! There is so much shoddy work out there that it's great to hear of someone doing good work.

I do like Mark's description of the amateur work he came across: "They skipped the C, did the L, and did not know how to do the A".
