There remain some highly experienced film kit repairers in the UK. These are often ex technicians of camera brands who are working from their own small workshops using specialist tools and rare parts from their company past.
The Photographic Collectors Club of Great Britain – www.pccgb.net has many of these technicians as members.
downtechinglondon will seek user experiences and report in the future. Many of these repairers have limited capacity, but often they are the genuine experts and are worth contacting.
