Hello!

I wondered if anyone could recommend where I could get a couple of lens cleaned/serviced? I've got a Nikon 24-70 f2.8 and a Sigma 105mm macro lens, both of which need a bit of attention.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated! I'm based in London but happy to send the lenses off if needs be.

Thanks!
 
What part of the lens needs cleaning I wonder? is it the body or the glass. . If dirt on the ribbed parts of the lens body a toothbrush shouldd sort that followed by a wipe with a damp rag. As for the glass use a product for cleaning eye glasses. if dirt behind the lens then yes send away to be checked/cleaned if possible
if behind the lens is misty they place in a sealed plastic bag with silica bags which will draw out the moisture causing the mist. May take several days but works

Fixation perhaps?
 
Sigma u.k based in Welwyn garden city for the sigma , Nikon probably fixation or Nikon but as above depends what needs doing as it can be a tad expensive

It's a bit of lens fungus on both lenses that needs sorting. Nothing that major I suppose. Operationally they're both perfectly fine otherwise.
 
fungus not good news I would be seeking a replacement instead. Fungus will only spread and get worse
