FWIW, I had my 85mm f2 serviced for Fungus and general
cleaning and lube job at Peachtree Camera and Video In Marietta Georgia.
I left it with them at a camera show in Florida and they mailed it back in
two weeks.
The lens is clean and works fine. Really nice people with a family
business.
They also do Leica etc. It cost me, $50 plus shipping. They also unstuck
my OM2 and changed the rear seals while I waited for $10. I trusted them
after seeing them at several shows and having them check a few bodies for me
at the shows.
Their phone number is (770)795-8020

>>Meanwhile, I took my beloved Zuiko 100mm F/2.0 into a local shop which
says it's a factory-authorized Olympus Service Centre, and was told I'd wait
2 to 3 weeks and would be charged between $100.00 and $180.00 Canadian
(about $66.84 to $120.31 U.S. at today's interbank exchange rate). Does
this sound reasonable? To me, it's all dependent on whether the lens comes
back pristine -- if it does, I'm a happy camper, if not, I'll be ticked.
And I *really* hope they don't clandestinely ship it away somewhere else --
I'll probably never see it again, given the experiences of some of the
people on this list who've been forced to use Canadian service centres far
away from where they live...
