[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]In Stephen Gandy's site he mentions a problem with this lens and the animal based grease attacking the coating on the rear element. The solution is to have the lens re-lubed with a modern synthetic grease. Has anyone had experience with this problem. And, of all of the normal repair shops used by LUGers is one better than another for lens repair/re-lubing? TIA Cheers, David Medley Whidbey Is.
