Can you recommend a repairer for Yashinon lens?

I have a Yashinon f1.8 5cm LTM lens from my Yashica YF (Nicca) which is in need of repair to the diaphragm. Can you recommend a repairer please? Thanks.

Roger,

I can't offer a Yashinon-specific recommendation, but I can recommend two repairers I've dealt with recently. Newton Ellis in Liverpool (advertises in AP) repaired my Yashica Y72E half-frame camera (wobbly lens mount, frame counter broken, erratic selenium meter), and did a fine job on it. My Contax 167MT was repaired by Protech Photographic, and likewise they did a fine job, at a reasonable price. Both of them gave me an estimate based on a telephone diagnosis, and both repairs came under budget. It's worth giving either of these a call.
