Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — 100%.

Every repair is done by Mike, right here in the shop. Your camera never leaves the building, and we don’t outsource to third-party services.

Sorry, no phone estimates.

Cameras are complex machines with hundreds of interconnected parts. One symptom can have several possible causes, and there’s no way to diagnose it properly without seeing the camera in person.

We offer FREE in-person estimates so we can give you a clear, honest, and accurate quote. To learn more, click here.

It depends on three things:

1. The complexity of the issue

2. Whether parts are needed and available

3. Mike’s current workload

Some repairs are completed within days, while others may take longer, especially for vintage models that require rare parts. We’ll always give you a realistic timeframe during your estimate.

Prices vary depending on the issue and the model.

That’s why estimates are done in person. Mike will walk you through exactly what’s wrong and what it will take to fix it — before any work begins.

We service a wide range of film and digital cameras, including:

• DSLR and mirrorless systems

• 35mm and medium format film cameras

• Point-and-shoots

We repair both manual and autofocus lenses — stuck zooms, damaged focus rings, jammed aperture blades, internal fungus, and more.

Bring it in and let Mike take a look!

Many older cameras can be repaired, especially with a CLA (Clean, Lube, and Adjust). If parts are available, we’ll make it work. If not, we’ll be honest about your options.
