He died some time ago. The company is still going.

Yes, the legend of lens repair has been gone for a year or so. But, as Aggie mentioned, the company continues to operate. Steve appears to have done a good job of passing his skills on to the young guys he had working for him.

that's good to hear. I can't afford new LF lenses so my alternative is to find bargains and have them C.L.A'd by S.K. Grimes or someone

I had a lens repaired after Steve's death. They still do the same superb job. The Master has successfully passed the torch.
