How true Pat,unfortunately all the Pentax gear i now own is not serviceable(maybe the
6x7??)
at Mississauga.Its good that we have 2-3 good,reliable camera repair places in the GTA.
OTOH the D1 i own is an American model,so if i have to repair,i cannot sent it to
Nikon,
also in Mississauga,but the states.The one in Toronto will only do CCD cleanings
for US cameras.
