If it needs repolishing, +AD4-recementing, or recoating, John Van Stelten is the man.

I had the front lens group in my +AD4-Rollei 2,8E repolished, recemented and recoated for +ACQ-225 plus shipping- and +AD4-it is like new- and was way less than finding a beater with good glass+ACE- +AD4-Check with them- They can make an old lens work like new, or nearly so+ACE- I +AD4-was amazed at what can be done with one of those 'obsolete' lenses+ACE- +AD4-Dan +AD4-dwpost+AEA-msn.com +AD4- +AD4-
