Hello all, I am curious if anyone has had their Rollei-anything repaired
by Harry Fleenor at this business of Oceanside Camera Repair? Is this a
legit
business that is trustworthy? If so, is anyone satisfied with his work?

Any help needed, TIA all,

Hi
Don't know him , but Samy's Camera in Venice is safe.

Do note, thought, that a search on "repair" with "select category" on
website http://www.samys.com/ yielded three books on camera
repair/maintenance and one camera repair tool. I couldn't find anything on
the website relating to Samy's repairing cameras. You may have better luck.
Dollars to donuts Samy's doesn't do repairs itself but rather jobs such work
to goodness knows who.


As a follow-up- Samy's does repair work on site. They have a factory
trained Hasselblad tech. As well as 2 other very knowledgeable techs.
Because they are a pro rental company, they have to be able to repair
their gear. I have had 2 mamiya lens repaired by them. If it is
something they can not do, they send it out authorized repair facilities.
They have 4 locations. The repair department is in their main store on
Faifax near 6th street. I have found their staff in the pro(medium &
large format) department friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
I was there today with a lens issue and was lucky to have been helped by
The Mamiya ( MAC Group)Rep. located right in Los Angeles.
I was not trying to trash any one. Just helping with an alternate source
