Default Old Bronica S lens repair?

Could anyone recommend a reputable repair service, for the repair of some older
Bronica/Nikkor lenses?

Thanks

Default Old Bronica S lens repair?


Greetings,

a lot depends on the lens repair needed; the older S/S2/EC lenses did not
have leaf shutters (except 105mm LS), so most competent repair techs can
do CLA - clean lube adjusts and minor repairs as needed. The lenses are
mostly modest cost, so replacing cracked or gouged elements is usually not
economic (a replacement element would be more like $300-450 US$ from most
optical houses like SRB, if they would consent to make one).

see http://medfmt.8k.com/bronrepair.html for some past repairers
specializing in bronica classic cameras; many will have lens "donor" parts

see http://medfmt.8k.com/mf/repairsites.html for list of general
repair shops and so on...

there is also a link to zip code lookup of local repair services site...

hope this helps - bobm
