Default Mamiya 645 Super - repair

Dear all

My Mamiya 645 does not focus beyond infinity any more, actually it doesn't focus on infinity either. I checked my lenses on a friends Mamiya body on it worked fine. I had his lenses on my body and it's the same problem so I assume it's my camera body.

Can anyone recommend a reliable place where I can have my camera serviced/repaired? I wouldn't have a problem to post the camera so it doesn't need to be local.

Or perhaps someone can make a suggestion on what to check first on the camera. It has always been handled with care and there were no accidents.

Thank you

There are a number of repairers listed in the Links section under repairers that have been recommended by members.

Thanks Andrew, I'll check it out.

I did find a few places on the net which do repairs (incl. the Mamiya website!). However, I was looking for recommendation to see which one to go for. I should have been more clear about this.
