Hi,
So I was gifted this lens by a veteran photographer/old family friend; a Leica 50mm f1.4!
And I was so happy when I learnt that I was going to receive it. Because I probably will not be in a position to buy one for myself.
Once I had it though, I was gutted. It is is HORRIBLE condition, with fungus and generally dirty looking. I'll let the photos tell the story. I made one photo with this using an adapter on a Sony A7III and it was really hazy and unusable.
Here are the pics for the lens, taken with a Sony A7iii
My question is, how do I go about getting this lens serviced? and around how much would I have to spend, approx?
