Recommended Pentax Servicing in UK
Hi,
I have a much loved (and much used) Pentax SV which needs a bit of attention: light seals need replacing, shutter trip a bit lazy sometimes and 1sec doesn't work, film counter doesn't count on any more, and its original 35mm f/3.5 lens has recently developed an intermittent aperture jamming problem. But apart from that it's still going strong after over 50 years of service (and I don't think it's ever been serviced since new!) After this year's summer holiday, I thought I'd treat it to a good overhaul/service. So can anyone recommend somebody who can service my Pentax SV camera, preferably in the UK? Thanks. |

My Pentax LX is at this time in for a service and new mirror seals with Camserve, a firm in East Sussex, with a quote of £60 + VAT.
The firm are local to me and I have had work done in the past with no problems. Hope this helps. Peter |

I have yet to use a camera repairer/ servicer but Newton and Ellis in Liverpool has a good reputation. I suspect and PeterS seems to have confirmed this that a service will not be cheap but you may have expected this anyway

I used Newton and Elis a couple of years back for repairs to my Canon F1N. They done great work and it is still going strong.
