Sherry and DAG can clean and lube a lens for less than a hundred, if there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the glass. If it needs repolishing, recementing, or recoating, John Van Stelten is the man. Cleaning can run around a hundred, recementing or recoating run about +ACQ-125 for either process, or so my lenses did- if they need both, you only pay the cost to tear down once, so its a little less. I had the front lens group in my Rollei 2,8E repolished, recemented and recoated for +ACQ-225 plus shipping- and it is like new- and was way less than finding a beater with good glass+ACE- Check with them- They can make an old lens work like new, or nearly so+ACE- I was amazed at what can be done with one of those 'obsolete' lenses+ACE- Dan dwpost+AEA-msn.com
