Other than Onick Voskinarian in NJ, do you know of another ROLLEI lens repair facility?

I send all my Rollei stuff to Rollei NJ and have had great luck with Onick and Carmen there.  Not sure what you need, but FocalPoint in Colorado has a good reputation for lens work and I believe he can even repolish and recoat lenses.  I also have been recommended http://www.paepke-fototechnik.de/ (http://www.paepke-fototechnik.de/) for service though they are in Europe.

I sent a fair bit of stuff to Onick and Carmen and did have the odd issue, but was usually able to work something out.

The only other place I know of is Krimar of Marflex heritage.  He is also in NJ.

I want to be clear about my question asking for addition Rollei repair facilities; I have gone to Onick, I quite agree he is great to deal with, and funny as well.  The problem, my problem, is that Onick does not have a Hy6 to test my problem lens with - 90 mm Macro which has a aperture iris that keeps moving instead of settling down to the desired f-stop when the lens is set to the AUTO mode.  This is not the case with the iris, when the lens is in the directly selected f-stop mode.

So, please know this is not in any way a sign of my dissatisfaction with Onick.

Ah, OK--that's good to hear.

You should know that Onick now has a Leaf AFi.  He was having some trouble tracking down issues I was having with a few of my lenses on my Hy6 using his 6008AF.  In the end, after a few trips back and forth, he picked up an AFi, my problems immediately showed up on his camera, and he fixed it -- problem solved.

You might want to give him a call, because he should be set up to help you now.

Hope that helps,
-Brad
