Repair Services

Over the past 35 years, I have become an expert in the repair of film-related photographic equipment: 35mm single lens reflex cameras, large- and medium-format view cameras, lenses and shutters, light meters, flash units, darkroom enlargers, etc.
 
With the proliferation of digital photographic equipment, I have expanded my knowledge to include digital single lens reflex cameras and lenses. More importantly, I now have special software that allows me to make service adjustments on many Canon Digital Single Lens Reflex Cameras. [To learn what I can do and why these service adjustments are important to you and your camera, go to my Canon Digital SLR page.]
