Hi Roger et al. 

I will just take the focussing mount to my local repair guy and see how much he 
charges just for cleaning and re-lubing the helicoid.  Don't want to invest too 
much in this lens, but I like chrome lenses... ;-)  

Anyone know how good a performer the Steinheil Culminars generally are?
