Wetzlar CLA and 6 Bit Coding

[jcraf]

Advertisement (gone after registration)

I am going to Wetzlar in the latter part of September. Does anyone know the approximate cost of a works CLA and/or 6 bit coding?

 

I plan to drop my f1 Noctilux and my 75 Summilux in for this work (or at least a CLA), and depending on price, some older members of my flock (eg 35 Summicron IV) for the same treatment.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Regards

$275 for 6 bit now. Was half that at the beginning, but so many of them required focus adjustment, the cost went up.

 

Relub and element clean additional.

 

Check 75 focus to see if yours is correct. I think the lens has focus shift so you can not get it correct at 1.4 and 2.8. All the ones I tried were set for 2.8 which is why they were soft wide open until I compensated. That was on film and I did not know about focus shift until digital.

 

I bought a 75 APO instead and am a happy camper.
