repair source of 67 90 2.8 LS lens

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Pentax 67 SLR : One Thread

I recently purchased a Pentax 67 Takumar 90 2.8 Leaf Shutter lens listed as "mint" on EBay. Unfortunately it is in need of a general service (focus and aperature ring stiff, blades not fully closing). Can someone suggest a good repair source. I usually go through Pentax central, but I believe I read somewhere that they don't mess with the older LS lenses anymore. thanks mark smith

I recently had my 90mm LS serviced by Pentax in the UK. They seem to handle them there. Details on the Pentax website.

Pentax US service will service your lens but will not do anything shutter related. The sync connection on mine didn't fire the flash and they woulde touch it. I sold it as is.
