Re: Dual Range Summicron - repair needed
Looks like fungal spots?? ... if so may need specialist attention to include clean polish and recoating ... and if on several elements it could be an expensive repair.

Another possibility is John van Stelten in the US. He can re-polish, re-coat etc. Even has front elements for the original version f:2.8/50mm Elmar. Here is the link:

AW: Dual Range Summicron - repair needed
another one you may try or at least get info from is Will van Manen in the Netherlands.
He's a Leica expert, i have had my M3 and M4 CLAd by him. Very good. check his website index.html obviously i'm not affiliated in any way

I didn't try any of the other recommendations as lots of additional sending around would have been involved. best regards and thanks again |
