Photo Forum / Film Photography / Medium format / September 2007Oceanside Camera Repair ???
http://www.rolleirepairs.com/ Hello all, I am curious if anyone has had their Rollei-anything repaired by Harry Fleenor at this business of Oceanside Camera Repair? Is this a legit business that is trustworthy? If so, is anyone satisfied with his work? Any help needed, TIA all, xenarshooter > http://www.rolleirepairs.com/ > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > xenarshooter Hi Don't know him , but Samy's Camera in Venice is safe. Mike Mueller >> http://www.rolleirepairs.com/ >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Don't know him , but Samy's Camera in Venice is safe. > Mike Mueller Do note, thought, that a search on "repair" with "select category" on website http://www.samys.com/ yielded three books on camera repair/maintenance and one camera repair tool. I couldn't find anything on the website relating to Samy's repairing cameras. You may have better luck. Dollars to donuts Samy's doesn't do repairs itself but rather jobs such work to goodness knows who. >>>http://www.rolleirepairs.com/ >>> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Dollars to donuts Samy's doesn't do repairs itself but rather jobs such work > to goodness knows who. As a follow-up- Samy's does repair work on site. They have a factory trained Hasselblad tech. As well as 2 other very knowledgeable techs. Because they are a pro rental company, they have to be able to repair their gear. I have had 2 mamiya lens repaired by them. If it is something they can not do, they send it out authorized repair facilities. They have 4 locations. The repair department is in their main store on Faifax near 6th street. I have found their staff in the pro(medium & large format) department friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I was there today with a lens issue and was lucky to have been helped by The Mamiya ( MAC Group)Rep. located right in Los Angeles. I was not trying to trash any one.

Yes, he is a legit business, trained by Rollei, has been at it for a long time, etc. That said, folks on the list either love or hate his services, and I really couldn't tell you why other than one member complaining about his not being fast enough for his liking, though I don't know what that might mean in real-world time. I haven't heard any complaints about the quality of his work. Hope this helps.
