Need a service/repair person for Zeiss CF lenses

[Michael H. Cothran]

Can anyone here recommend a service center or repair person that can work on a CF 500mm/f8 Tele Apotessar lens? In particular, cleaning the lens elements.

I've contacted David Odess, who states not having the proper tools for the 500, and also Hasselblad in NJ, who stated that they no longer work on that lens.

I'd like to find someone in the US or Canada, but would consider shipping international if necessary.

Zeiss made them and say:
Non-Warranty repair service for ZEISS photo lenses (Batis, Loxia, Milvus, Otus, Touit, Classic, ZM Lenses), for service for vintage photo lenses (e.g. Hasselblad or Contax/Yashica lenses), please contact us for addresses of independent service centers.
Legacy lenses and cameras (e.g. Hasselblad, Contax/Yashica, Rollei, Carl Zeiss Jena, Zeiss Ikon AG Stuttgart...) can unfortunately no longer be repaired by ZEISS.

Some independent specialist workshops offer maintenance and repair services for these products. On request, we would be pleased to send you a list of several workshops in Germany and the USA who may be still able to repair your lens or camera (please take advantage of our contact form).
