Have been an established customer now for some time now, but for the past couple of months haven't been able to contact them. Now even emails to the Lens Doctor bounce back as failed. Not sure what is going on.

Reply from The Lens Doctor
Hi Albert,
We had major problems with our website service provider, meaning that if you sent mail to the lens doctor, it bounced back to the sender , this has all been sorted and a notice published onto the Website Contact page apologising for the inconvenience this has caused. I believe I wrote to you last week regarding your enquiry Albert, sincerely sorry for what looked like not caring, quite the contrary Albert.. if you need to speak to me direct for re-assurance just call me.
Many thanks
Eddie
Top quality work every time
I found Eddie Houston, aka the Lens Doctor, a few years ago. After various enquiries, I started to have some Canon FD lenses converted by him, and I’ve kept having them done. I have been very pleased with all the advice I’ve received and all the work done for me.
A recent conversion took longer than usual as I know Eddie had some major problems in the aftermath of a flood and having to have major work done to sort all that out, I don't think the insurance company made it easy.
Despite all that, I now have the latest conversion I have been waiting for and as ever I’m highly delighted with it. I will soon be sending yet another lens for conversion, a couple to be painted and a few lens hoods to be tightened up. Eddie knows his stuff and is worth waiting for.
