Getting a lens checked in NY?

[Mitsos Triantopoulos]

Hello,

I have a lens which I want to determine the condition of by a professional before I send it to a friend to use it for a film project.

It is an Angenieux 12-120 which will be used with an Eclair ACL II.

 

Can someone recommend a trustworthy place in New York with a quick turnaround?

 

Thanks much :)

Although we have the capacity to service older lenses like the Ang. 12-120 I'm sure Du-All Camera might be able to service the lens in a shorter period of time.

 

They're great guys there.

Below are five places you should check

I recommend you call them all and see who gives the best price

 

Also they're listed from best-to-not the best but still good

So if you ask me the best one is the first one---but that's my opinion.

 

Finally I'll add that an Ang. 12-120 is not the best lens

So if they're going to be spending so much money on checking a lens

Might as well rent a better/newer one...

Run a search on this site for the Ang. 12-120 you'll see what folks say.

(And this is from someone who own an Ang. 12-120---wanna buy it :) )
