Lens service

[Harry Lime]

Can anyone recommend a reliable company in Los Angeles or points beyond that services lenses? I have a set of Super Baltar primes that need a full CLA. They have been in storage for about 10 years and the lubricants have completely dried up.

My initial research has yielded the following candidates:

Duclos

Focus Optics

Visual Products

Any feedback or additional suggestions would be appreciated.


Thanks in advance

Thanks, I also got that email this morning.

I've dealt with Abel in Burbank a few times and to be honest really don't know what to make of them.



Cheers
