Someone to service an old Zeiss manual lens?

[joxang]

Picked up a lovely 50mm 1.7 off eBay. Optics perfect, amazing quality and contrast, but the only problem is a stiff (and sometimes 'wobbly') aperture ring. Iris blades are fine.

Could anyone recommend someone in the UK who services old manual lenses? Preferably someone near Oxford or London, or anyone really who I can post to.

Thanks in advance .

Lehmans or fixation would be best bet.

One person who is well known for servicing older equipment is Miles Whitehead:

Most of us in the Film and Conventional section have used him for camera CLA's and lens repairs/services and he does a top notch job for very reasonable prices. Drop him an email and he'll give a base price for a service of that lens plus any new parts if needed.
