Title: Lens repair recommendation
Post by: D Fuller on April 07, 2018, 12:44:22 am

I had my Contax 645 fall to the (tile) floor yesterday. It fell on the lens, binding it’s focus mechanism. The glass seems unharmed, but it obviously needs work. Does anyone have a recommendation for a lens tech or lens repair service that might be able to handle this kind of work?

You might try Nippon Photo Clinic in NY: www.nipponphotoclinic.com.
They successfully fine-tuned the focus on my Contax 645 45-90mm.  If parts need to be replaced however, that's a different story - Contax 645 lens parts are very difficult to find. Best of luck.
