Repair for Zeiss lenses

Alarmed by some postings in this NG for some weeks ago I checked the
shutterspeed of my Zeiss Planar 80/2.8 and Zeis Tele TEssar 250/5.6. And
found out that only the shortest speeds until some 1/15 for the Planar and
until 1/60 for the Tessar seems to be right. Gave them too little attention
I suppose. BUT: I can't find those postings anymore on the newsserver and I
didn't made copies either. So, my question is: Does anyone knows where to
look for these postings or advice what to do best with these lenses.

Thanks

How did you test?

Contact Hasselblad in Utrecht , or by telephone:
030-2411616 (algemeen), 030-2411601 (service)) and ask their repair
department what an adjustment will cost.
Should you live anywhere near Utrecht, or don't mind a longer trip, i
believe you can visit them too and have your lenses tested to see if the
shutterspeeds are indeed off, free of charge. Ask them first.

By the way, i bet you that your Tele-Tessar either turns out to be a Sonnar
or is not a 250 mm lens. ;-)

I didn't "test " it scientifically spoken, just found out that the longer
shutterspeeds are way out of range (i.e. the Planar's 1/8 sec. lasted at
least 0,5 second or should I say "feels at least as 0,5 sec."? :-) )
Whatever, this raises "some"suspicion about the other shutterspeeds, so a
visit to Utrecht might clearup these questions.

You're right it is a Sonnar. Sold my Tessar 350 some years ago because of
the weight. Still not over it.
