Nikon service/repair?
Can anyone recommend a shop for routine service (CLA, light seals, & mirror
box pads) for older manual focus Nikon (FE2,FA) bodies? I'm not necessarily looking for bargain-basement prices, but rather someplace that knows their Nikons, with a reputation for top-quality work. Thanks, Tim |

I'm not necessarily looking for bargain-basement prices, but rather someplace that knows their Nikons, with a reputation for top-quality work. Thanks, Tim Dr. Bonine, I'm not sure where you live, but I have had two Nikon F2s serviced exactly as you indicate by Northwest Camera Repair in Everett, Washington, USA. They have an excellent reputation in the Pacific Northwest region and came highly recommended to me. http://www.northwestcamerarepair.com Prior to servicing one of my two cameras had sat unused for over a dozen years and the other was an Excellent Plus purchase from KEH. (Nothing initially wrong with the purchased unit. I always have any newly acquired used equipment checked and cleaned before use.) In addition to a basic CLA I had the DP-1 Photomic meters cleaned, checked and calibrated for both cameras. In one case (the older camera) some additional repair was required for the meter. I also had all of my older, vintage lenses (five total) CLAed as well. I found the service to be timely and the prices fair. Since they were serviced the cameras and lenses have performed flawlessly in moderate use. I will not hesitate to return for any additional repair work as the need may arise. If you contact them, ask for Scott. Ken |

Have you considered Nikon, USA? I have been very satisfied and no one
stands up for their service like them. Trust me on that. Russ On Fri, 15 Apr 2005 17:38:47 GMT, "Timothy R.

I've had good luck with Steve Wright at CanonT90.com. He works on Nikons
too. Doug Robbins "radarguy" wrote in message ... Have you considered Nikon, USA? I have been very satisfied and no one stands up for their service like them. Trust me on that.
