Do a Google search for Vermont Camera Works.  They just finished cleaning and
adjusting my Sonnar in Leica Thread Mount, and it is on its way back to me.  As
an aside, Nikon F cameras are one of their specialties.  Vermont Camera Works
has decades of experience on older cameras and lenses.  I have been pleased
with all the work they have done for me.

Subject: [pure-silver] Zeiss Sonnar cleaning

I inherited an old CarlZeissJena Sonnar 5cm/1.5 that my mom found while
cleaning my grandma's estate
The lens seems to be in good shape, glass is clean, and aperture is fine but
I'd like to have it professionally cleaned.
Do you guys know of someone that provides such service???

As background, my grandpa had a Zeiss camera (Contax) that he used in the late
30s and 40s
He then switched to Leica in the late 40s and the camera disappeared in the mid
60s when my uncles used it.

According to my mother, he bought the Zeiss from one of the Italian-Jewish
people that came to Ecuador in the 30s and were friends of the family for a
long time.

The lens is a Type 1 (1932) which according to Thiele's book is 1 in 100
(aperture going to f/8 only); type 2 came very soon after with aperture to f/11
