In case you really get the above proceed as the first paragraph. I got some experience (bad, of course) polishing, re-coating front elements and would never suggest a friend to that. Changes in focus would the first but only of changes. good luck Pablo > > > I am in a dilemma. > > I have a Black Leica 21mm f3.4 Super Angulon Ser No.2417270 > with font and rear caps and original finder. > > The lens needs the front element polishing and re-coating , over > enthusiastic cleaning by a previous owner !! , cosmetic really as it does > not appear to have any effect on images taken with it. > > Anyhow i am now in two minds whether whilst getting the front element > polished and re-coated by Malcolm Taylor , to get the lens also modified to > meter with the M6 at the same time. > > Should i get this done and in some peoples eyes ruin the lens or should i > sell the lens as is and get a used 21mm Elmarit ASPH ? > > Best Regards > Eric Calderwood > (Liverpool U.K) > 0151 229 4260 > > -- > To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
