Best companies to get lens cleaned?

**bigoak** · 04-01-2022, 06:32 PM

Got several lenses that are full of dust and spots i'd like to get cleaned professionally. No fungus or anything, just want to bring them back to how clean they were when i first mounted them years ago. Mostly newer lenses (24-70 DFA, 100 Macro, few others in the same vein). Any recommendations?

As a start, below is a screenshot of recommended repairers in the US, and hopefully one of them is close enough to you to phone for a quote.

I did four or five searches for a clickable list and couldn't find anything. Could someone supply the link to the list or database above?

The lens I would like CLA'd is actually an older Tamron, in case anyone has some experience with a good US Tamron shop.

Thanks all !!!

FWIW, I like using TLC camera repair:
TLC Camera Repair, Gus Lazzari, Leica Repair

I've had a couple manual focus lenses serviced there.
