Most independent repair shops can service lenses. You have to find one in your area. In Michigan, I use Oakland Photographic Repair. Shel has a list of recommended repair facilities on his website. Paul On Mar 5, 2004, at 10:19 AM, Stephen Moore wrote:
O List --
Earlier this week I visited the Pentax USA website, preparing to send my LX off for CLA and sticky-mirror fix. On the Discontinued Service page I found this, which I don't remember being quite so comprehensive:
Until recently, we provided service on some discon- tinued cameras, lenses, and accessories that are 15 to 20 years old. However, because parts for many older products are no longer manufactured, we can no longer service the following items:
[...]
LENSES
All Screwmount Lenses
All SMCP Lenses
All SMCP-M Lenses
Most SMCP-A Lenses
Most SMCP-F Lenses
Auto 110 Lenses
6x7 90mm F2.8 L.S. (Leaf Shutter problems only)
Looks like we old-glass hoarders already might be in a spot of trouble, with more coming down the road.
Do y'all know any independent repair shops that are especially good with lenses?
