Camera Diagnostics

This is the first step to getting your film camera back in working shape.

What's Included:

• Full Diagnostic Evaluation - We’ll thoroughly test your camera to identify what’s not working—and make sure nothing else is hiding under the surface.
• Repair Research, Parts Sourcing, and Parts Design - If needed, we'll research parts availability and explore possible solutions, including designing and manufacturing replacement parts.
• $100 Credit Towards Repair - If you move forward with a repair, the $100 diagnostic fee is applied directly to the total cost.
  
• Transparent Repair Estimates - The cost of our Camera Diagnostics service is determined by our bench time rate of $150/hour. Depending on the complexity of your repair, it may take less than an hour, in which case our pricing will reflect this. For instance, if your repair is completed within 30 minutes, the Diagnostics fee will cover the entire cost of the repair.

Our Approach to Repairs:

We’re not specialists in any single brand—we work on all kinds of film cameras, and we’re not afraid of the oddball ones either. From standard issues to custom repair solutions, we’ll take a thoughtful and thorough approach.

We only repair cameras the right way, using proper materials and methods. No shortcuts. And we stand behind our work with a 90-day repair warranty.

Turnaround Time:

Diagnostics - Can take up to 2-3 weeks to hear back with a quote on a repair.

Repairs - Can be completed within the diagnostic window. However, most complex repairs can take 3-8 months for completion. We will provide you with an estimated turnaround time upon the completion of the diagnostics.
