Camera Repair List

[Mitica100]

I thought some of us might benefit from having this list on TPF. The idea is simple, please post a link to your favorite camera repair shops, be that digital or otherwise. Make sure you post what country is it in, what city as well.

I would encourage you all to take a little time and add to this list but please, no bad links, no discussions about bad shops and bad service, only services that we can use in the near future. And as usual, and I hope this will become a sticky, no religion, politics, jokes or any other non-essential info on this thread.

Thank you all and let the list start.

Anyone with Canon A1 or AE1 having shutter squeak noise, this is the camera tech that fixed three of the Canons I sent him:

oldtractornut@earthlink.net

Just e-mail him with your problems and he'll let you know what you need to do. Mention my name (Dimitri) if you want.

In England, Chesterfield, Derbyshire to be precise, a guy named Micheal Spencer has just fixed my malfunctioning Nikon quickly and cheaply. He is happy to discuss problems via e-mail.

CLASSIC CAMERA EXCHANGE

I've never had to repair anything , but when I do, I'll take it to Classic Camera. It's a nice old guy in a nice old shop. I've heard from others that the repair guy is pretty good but a little slow.

These guys are well trained and do good work.

Obviously spend their time repairing camera equipment and not web designing cos the site sucks!

I just discovered a new place:

Flutot's_Camera_Repair or simply e-mail Carol L. Flutot at flutotscamera@earthlink.com with your needs. Should you want to call, here is the telephone: (562) 696-0759

And should you want to visit/write, here is the address:

Flutot's Camera Repair, 14922 Janine Drive, Whittier, CA 90605


If any of you had experiences with SK Grimes, this lady is as good but cheaper.

BTW, I should mention she does mainly large format lenses and shutters.
