frankpjd Posted September 22, 2013 Share #1 Posted September 22, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello everyone. I just purchased my first Leica yesterday. The body is a IIIg from 1957 and the lens is a 50mm Summicron f/2 from 1956. I paid $300 for the lens. However, upon looking at the lens (front and rear glass elements) with a flashlight in the dark, I noticed there was a little haze coming from inside the glass. I'd like to get this lens cleaned. Anyone have a ballpark figure on how much a cleaning like this will cost? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobey bilek Posted September 22, 2013 Share #2 Posted September 22, 2013 $150 to 200 DAG camera repair. Golden Touch camera repair Sherry Krauter. She is very good. Focal Point Lens will also clean, not plain focal point. A collapsible is not my favorite lens. It needs cleaning if you see anything inside as it degrades the image starting with lower contrast and the lens is already low. A Rigid is worth whatever it costs if you have one which you probably do not. Next time inspect BEFORE purchase. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
