There's one on evilBay right now for under £400.00 with several days still to run.

I'm looking to buy this nice piece of glass, in perfect optical and mechanical condition, without focusing issues. The aesthetic/look is secondary, I dont really care about a few scuffs from normal use.

@Algernon: I think I will just stick with making pictures with my cameras rather than making troubles with them

Thank you for all the replies!

(After checking on the repair prices, I might better off buying a new equipment But yes, I know, I'm just cheap and those are just estimates.)

I've got some vintage film equipment, and they could use some proper care:
For example there is a Pentax ME Super body, with a sticky shutter, I have a Chinon 50mm f/1.4 with dust inside that I think is a bit more than acceptable, and finally I have an Asahi Takumar 135mm f/2.5 with dust and even 1-2 microscopic fungus spot in an early stage - so I would like to save the lens from further deterioration.
So if you know someone in London (preferably central, or north) who could deal with these problems efficiently in a reasonable price, I would be really glad to meet him!
I like to use old film tools, so if he can do his job well, he could be my long term repair man

This lens has focusing issues as it's inherent. It hunts in anything other than decent lighting conditions and the AF is woefully slow for this lens type and the AF motor is louder than other similar lens types.
