Gallinazorey Posted July 4, 2013 Share #1  Posted July 4, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi everyone, I pretty much realize it is an imposible task but perhaps someone here has done it before...is there any way I can fix these scratches? Its a shame since this is the 2002 version of the Summicron and only 1000 made...thanks Welcome, dear visitor!

jerzy Posted July 4, 2013 Share #2 Â Posted July 4, 2013 dismanteling the lens, dechroming, polishing and then applying the same procedure which was used in production: sanding and coating (most probably firstly with nickel and then chrome). Complicated, I assume expensive, you will need repairman very experienced in optical repairs. CRR Luton would be one, I assume. Anything else, like polishing will make it only worse in my opinion. jerzy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the soft ones from Crown Royal Scotch bottles or make your own from a worn flannel shirt or sheet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenPatterson Posted July 12, 2013 Share #4 Â Posted July 12, 2013 Unless you are planning to sell I wouldn't even consider having this repaired. Use and enjoy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfhrased Posted July 14, 2013 Share #5 Â Posted July 14, 2013 Unless you are planning to sell I wouldn't even consider having this repaired. Use and enjoy. Â Otoh if you're planning on selling it, the amount you'd pay to have it repaired probably makes the sale not terribly worthwhile. Â I'm of the opposite opinion - if you plan to keep it for the rest of your life, and/or pass it on afterwards, maybe get a quote on the repair?

hossegor Posted July 14, 2013 Share #6 Â Posted July 14, 2013 i have a summicron iv that has a dent where you screw the filter on. i asked leica how it would cost to fix, they estimated something like 750 euro. the wont code it without fixing it either. for that price i could just as well get a better used one, so i just kept it as is, using it on my m6.
