I've had a hunt around here and elsewhere but struggling to find a recommended Seller/Servicer for medium format folders in the UK.
Any links or names would be great. I'll also pop a Wanted advert here at FADU just incase I can tempt anyone to pass on their camera.
Thanks

I have a large number of folders - I could sell you one if you like... :)
Or do you have one already and need it serviced?

Hi Stephen
Here's a link to one in the UK http://www.rolandandcaroline.co.uk/repair.html I think they just repair rather than sell though.
The most well known repair specialist and re-seller though is in the US http://www.certo6.com/ I know quite a few people that have bought from Jurgen and have had nothing but praise.

Thanks for the link Paul, I'll check out their site.
I have been browsing Certo6's site and auction sales and he certainly seems to have a good collection and in top order, I would love to deal with someone closer to home ideally but we'll see.

Stephen, for servicing/repairs try Newton and ellis, I have used the for my own collection of classic cameras and have nothing but the highest praise, and I believe they sell classic cameras as well, another dealer of whom I have nothing but praise, having dealt with them for over 2 years, is Collectable Cameras, at collectablecameras.com,who very often have mf folders,and Simon has never let me down yet,Richard

for shutter and lens element servicing you could also try Bill Orford on 01793 695025. He recently repaired a battery compartment on my 300mm APO Ronar and did a CLA on a 180mm Symmar. Both were excellent pieces of work. I don't know about refurbishing bellows though.

You could try Ed Trzoska - 01162674247
He's often referenced in Amateur Photography and has done work on my cameras before. A folder specialist too!
Best regards,
