Fungus, where to send lens?
Got a Rollei 6006 80mm lens with the dreaded fungus in-between rear elements. Can anyone recommend someone who could clean it for me? Sendean in London gave me an estimate of £195 + vat, Brian Mickleboro and Kieth Leedham both declined.

Newton and Ellis in L'pool? Not known to be a bargain basement company price-wise and you'd think that if Sendean want £195 plus VAT that N&E would be similar but sometimes that kind of logic is faulty.
You won't know until you inquire. On another thread I mentioned Ed Trzoska. Again he might be worth contacting. He is Leicester based so a trip with offending Rollei lens from Derbyshire is relatively easy. N&E might want it sent to them before committing then it is postage both ways even if they refuse the job or you decline their fee Best of luck Mike |

I've got a Contax I with Ed at the moment, which I took to him in mid-April. He quoted a seven to eight week turnaround at the moment. In the past I've used Malcolm Taylor.

I would second Newton and Ellis, if they decline then I would say it can't be done, but it won't be cheap where ever you go, and if the estimate has been given with lens unseen then I would tend to think that it is a starting point, and the price could go up depending upon just how bad the fungus is, good luck,
Richard
