Compur service
Good Morning all-
Whilst exercising the shutters in my cameras and lenses at the weekend I discovered that I've 'lost' the slow speeds on one lens. It's a 270mm Tele-Xenar in Compur shutter, and the speeds from 1/10s down not won't fire, or run incredibly slowly. Repeated firing has not resolved the problem. I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a good LF repairer? Unfortunately I'll have no time for photography until late March, but I'm assuming anyone good is also busy so I'd rather deal with it now. Thanks in advance. |

Best repairer I know of is Newton and Ellis in Liverpool, I don't have a link but just google Newton and Ellis, sounds as if your shutter just needs a good service, I get all of my repair done with Newton and Ellis and not had a problem yet

Thank you for the suggestions-
I'll call Ed Trzoska first I think to see how busy he might be. |

Cameratiks/Camerabase in Morningside Road, Edinburgh fixed a Prontor Professional shutter for me a couple of years ago. They did a good job. I haven’t been to the shop for a while, but assume it’s still operating.

To close up this thread:
I didn't get around to sending this shutter away for some time, but it has come back from Ed Trzoska running so sweetly I feel like sending all my shutters away for a service. Completely transformed , and couldn't have been running any more smoothly when it left the factory. Thanks Ed. |

Skellum, good to know that Ed is still doing this work and that he does a great job. Often a direct chat with the repairer can be helpful and Leicester is within a reasonable car journey for me

Good evening Norm. I've sent a PM about this, as I have no idea if Ed would be OK or not with me publishing his prices.
Cheers! |
