Felt it might be useful to have a special resource thread for these. Please add for other countries plus comments on the good and the bad (i.e., ones to avoid are just as important as recommendations!)
Repair Centres in UK that have been tried and tested for Legacy lens repairs:
ACS Advanced Camera Services. http://www.advancedcameraservices.co.uk (Made a good job of poyin's Contax 35/1.4) They specialise in IR camera conversions.
Aztech Repair Services "official Nikon film (Ai/AiS) repair centre" http://www.aztechservices.com
They only repair Nikon film equipment. Also, not VAT registered, so cheaper.
Camserve, who ffordes photographic use for any problems with their lenses : http://www.camserve.co.uk
Luton Camera Repair Services official for Olympus OM, but also do other makes: http://www.repairhub.co.uk/e/21704/luton-camera-repair-services
Newton Ellis in Liverpool, (say very good things about themselves on their site, but I've no first hand knowledge of them, as they have consistently been the most expensive when I ask for estimates) They deal in Leica, Rollei and Nikon http://www.newtonellis.com
The Lens Doctor. Very good reputation for Canon FD conversions, but also does repairs. No idea of how prices compare.
