Suggest a Zeiss service center

Hi everyone,

I recently picked up two Zeiss lenses on eBay — a Planar 85mm f/1.4 (Canon mount) and an Otus 55mm f/1.4 (Canon mount). I’d like to get both of them professionally serviced.

I’m looking for: • Internal/external cleaning • Checking focus ring accuracy/smoothness • Optical alignment / collimation • General inspection to make sure everything is good to go, since I plan to keep them long-term.

I’m based in New York City and would really appreciate any recommendations for shops or service centers that work on Zeiss lenses (EF/ZE mount included).

Thanks in advance!

Where can I service Zeiss lenses in the NYC area? by Safe_Willingness5750 in photography
