Subject: [Leica] IIIf needs cleaning

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.
