[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I had the front group of a Rollei Xenotar done by John Van Stelten- polished and recoated the elements and recemented them- looked and worked like a new lens! The Rollei cost me about $250, but I am sure your Summicron will depend on how difficult it is to dismantle, etc. Call him and find out! If the mechanicals are in good shape, and you got the lens at a giveawy price because of the damage, it may very well be worth a shot!
