[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I've just inherited a Leica IIIf from my late father-in-law, who purchased it in Wiesvaden while stationed there with NATO command in 1951. The lens is a Carl Zeiss Sonnar T 5cm, f/1.5. The lens thread and mount have an accretion of white powder or crystals. The shutter is not working properly. Can anyone recommend a technician in Calgary, or Canada, who would be prepared to clean the camera and lens, and put the shutter in good working order? I'd also be grateful for any onformation about this lens. The other lens is the 35mm, f/3.5 Summaron, which a number of LUG members have described on their web sites. Thanks for the help. john heintz
