DEAR LIST,

            A friend of mine showed me a lovely old LINHOF ZEISS 250 F 5.6 SONNAR that he got.  I almost cried because someone had dropped it and bent the front retaining ring that holds the elements of the front group together making it impossible to get in there to clean the fungus that grew between the elements due to being improperly kept in a humid, dark environment.  Further, though I can get the back group off (and therefore clean the inner surfaces of both the front and back groups) I cannot seem to move the retaining ring on the rear group to permit cleaning between those elements either.

*****Soooooooooooooo, my question:  Can y’all recommend a repair person in the US who might be able to repair and CLA this abused gem of a lens?  It has the reputation of being a really sharp lens.  The shutter is a bit sticky on the slower speeds as well so a full CLA is definitely in order. 

                                    CHEERS!
