In Reply to: Any Canon guru's out there? Need some help with my old FTb posted by Rich Brkich on March 23, 2001 at 14:11:42:
I am having the same problem with my Pentax ME super.Where are you?
I did extensive research and I am going with Bedford Camera and Video in FT Smith Arkansas. First of all ..it is close to me. Secondly...they care...they are not out to "sell you" a new camera.
It is one of those shops that Camera Buffs "hang out".
Certainly get someone close. If you choose to try Bedford, I can check up on it regularly and keep you in touch with progress through emails. They quoted me 26 days to completely replace the entire shutter mechanism with a new one(Factory) for about 110.00 I think that is fair..anmd give it a complete dissasembly and cleaning. Hell those guys use white gloves was what a Buddy told me. I do want to "make sure"..think I will pay them a personal visit tomorrow and see how the vibe is.
Follow Ups:
I'm just outside of Syracuse, NY. Let me know what you think of the shop your are going to. The place locally that worked on my FTb is a serious camera repair shop and they did nice work (were not into selling me anything) and are good people... I'm just looking for a very good canon expert... while I amy not use this camera alot, it has a very significant amount of sentilmental value. I carried this camera around since I was around 13 or 14 years old. Shot allot of B&W pics (as well as developed and printed and sold them) of many high school sporting events as well as many pictures which made thier way into my high school yearbook.
