Shutter Repair in the UK
Last night I was getting my recently constructed wide angle panoramic camera ready for its first film when I noticed something wasn't quite right with the shutter. On of the blades had come loose and was floating around inside. I retrieved it by removing the elements.
The shutter works fine but I need someone in the UK (preferably) who can take it apart and put the shutter blade back in. I took the front off to have a look and quickly put it back together again. If I carried on, I would have just created a collection of spare parts! Any ideas? Steve. |

I've not used them but had this guy recommended to me by a few people:
http://www.bonwcameras.co.uk/ He's supposed to be good and highly rated - was certainly helpful over the phone when he did me a quote. |

Someone on APUG has suggested the same company (it wasn't you was it?) so I have sent him a message.

The last time I had a LF lens shutter repaired was by Linhof & Studio. First class service but not cheap.

Just checked my records and Linhof wasn't as expensive as I first thought - £63.45 inclusive of postage but it was 5 years ago

I have had a reply from John Quantick with a quote for £58. I will start saving my pennies up now!
