Return to photography / S1a & FT2 &S5000 fix-up Central Mass?
Hey all, first post in a while.
I had a low point for a few years and got out of photography. Sold my tanks (F3HP, FE/MD11), kept my Jeep (FT2) since it was a gift. Recently have come into another (S1a) and a new bird (S5000). I'm feeling a bit better and have been wanting to get back into shooting like I used to. Unfortunately, my FT2's shutter sticks under 1/30th, the S1a has a sticky mirror, 'T'ime exposure setting doesn't work and the S5000's internal battery is dead. We're still operating and have taken some nice photos recently but it's a bit of a pain to work with gear in such repair. The place I last had my cameras serviced is now gone and I really have no idea if/where cameras are serviced around my area. I've checked the phone book, found nothing, asked the local "good" film lab if they knew of anyone, they didn't. I'm looking to get the two film cameras CLA'd and get an estimate on further repairs, if any are needed, and have the internal batt on the digital replaced. I'm shooting (hah) in the dark here but if anyone knows a reputable/reasonable place in or around Worcester county, I'd be much obliged. Especially if they're an independent and might give me a break since I'll have four (mine+an EOS) cameras being serviced at once. I do know there is a Ritz in Worcester proper but I have never dealt with them for anything, let alone let their service department tool on my babies. Should I consider this an option? Would they even bother with such old bodies? Take care, Des |
