LA lens tech recommendation (Lomo superspeeds)

[Morgan Schmidt]

Greetings,

Anyone know a good lens tech in the LA area (I'm familiar with Duclos / Stuart Focus Optics) that would offer a good combination of price/workmanship/availability?

Need relatively simple (I think) clean/lube on an early 90's set of Lomo/Ekran speeds, a couple have slight image shifting during focus rack.

Cheers,

Someone should compile a list of pro lens shop options.

Well, we have had Duclos do exactly that for us and the work was perfect. It was not cheap, but I really think you get what you pay for. When you consider the comparative cost of cine lenses, a Duclos refurbishing of Ekran lenses still gives you a tremendous value.
