Subject: [OM] What to do with damaged 135 lens
| Some time ago I got a Zuiko 135/2.8 lens from a friend who
| wanted to throw it away. The problem is that the front
| element of the lens is severely damaged with lots of
| little scratches (looks like it was hit by a sand storm).
| The lens is still usable, giving a very soft focus, which
| I don't mind. But there is very little contrast.
|
| I've contacted John Hermanson about replacing the front
| element and he said the part is long out of stock. It is
| probably not economically reasonable to repair the lens.
| So now my questions:
| - Does anyone have a front element for this lens that is
| available inexpensively?
| - Any suggestions on how to repair the lens economically
| (e.g., re-coat the lens), and who to contact.
| - Is there another cure for the low contrast problem (e.g.,
| will using a high contract film help).
|
| Thanks for any suggestions.
| -Dan
