I've got a 28mm Super-Multi-Coated Takumar lens in beautiful condition but the aperture is very sluggish. Everything else about this optic is absolutely beautiful...

I'd like to have this lens professionally cleaned but who? where?

Thanks in advance for your recommendations and anecdotes.

Eric is the man for classic Pentax stuff. He's done good work for me on a number of tasks, including bringing a 35/2 S-M-C Takumar with sluggish diaphragm back to life.

Second that.

I've never sent Eric any lenses, but he did a CLA on two MX bodies, and I was quite pleased with the resuts. Reasonable prices, too.

Thanks all. I've sent a handful of Pentaces to Eric over the years...didn't know he worked on lenses too!
