I would second DU-All, if you need it in New York.
If not, then you might try Stuart at Focus Optics, he is out West.
Otherwise Dieter would probably be a good go to.

Thanks for this very detailed answer! I will reach out to these people
and even if it doesn't work for time factor it's always good to have a
list of qualified techs for these kinds of things!
Best,
Philippe

Hi Philippe,
Duall Camera services most small(er) gauge cameras/systems, I'm
assuming Kern lenses would be within their repertoire. Not sure
if there is a devoted resident lens tech there, but they seem
to work on everything.
Maybe Abel Cine? Jeff Marzigliano does their servicing, or
oversees the service dept. Not sure if they shy away from smaller
work like that. But he may know of someone in the city who
specializes.
Obviously, you're on a schedule. But, Bernie O'Doherty of Super 16
Inc is in upstate New York and he will do top quality work at a
really competitive rate. Also Dieter at Procam USA fixed a Switar
of mine that had a separated barrel and the service he did is
sooo positively evident even years after. I know that if your
problem requires parts Dieter will most likely have the genuine
stuff and the finesse to really clean the lens up. Turnaround
might not be all that different from a place in NY that has dozens
of jobs backed up.
Good luck,
Isaac

Any recommendations for a good lens technician in NYC? I have
a 10mm Switar lens that needs shutter blades attention (they
got displaced and need to be put back in position). The
sooner, the better as I need it for a project I'm shooting now.
Happy Easter!
