where to find vintage lens parts

[Martelli Philippe]

Hello guys

I recently had a dammage on the front element of my 85 mm zeiss standard speed MKII.

I tried to make it clean by a french optical company but sadlly they just lost this element..

It s terrible story for me and i was wondering if someone knows a seller of vintage lens parts.

Fully open to advices ..

Thanks

Philippe

Not certain about this, but some of the bigger lens houses may have parts available. I'd try Duclos Lenses in Los Angeles, or True Lens Services in the UK. Good luck!

Thanks Clint,

Will try with duclos and tls but not sure they will sell lens parts separately.

Hello,

try P+S Technik also, they are really really good. You might even try Zeiss directly, who knows.

All the best,

Olivier

Hi guys

Well just to share it, i had a really good experience with duclos. They just saved me providing a new front element or refurbished, anyway my lens will work again !

I d like to make a transport case. Does someone know the size of the 100 and 135 which seem to be longer than the classic ones ?

Thanks !
