Basic Camera Cleaning And Sealing

Basic Camera Cleaning + Light Seal Replacement

Got a trusty film camera that works but looks a little rough around the edges? Our Basic Camera Service is here to give it the care it deserves.

This service is ideal for fully functional cameras that could use a bit of freshening up to keep them in good shape for regular use.

What's Included:

• Basic External Cleaning - Dust, grime, and general wear get gently wiped away. We'll clean the body, lens mount area, external of viewfinder, and top/bottom plates.
• Old Light Seal Removal - Crumbling, sticky foam is carefully removed from the back door, mirror box (if applicable), and film channel areas.
• New Light Seal Installation - Fresh foam is cut and fitted to help prevent future light leaks and extend the life of your camera.

Good to Know:

• This service does not include internal repairs, shutter calibrations, or rangefinder alignment.
• Designed for cameras that are already functioning properly, but just need some cosmetic and preventative maintenance.
• Turnaround time: 5-7 business days after we receive your camera.

Which option to pick?

• Standard Back Camera - For 35mm and medium format film cameras without removable backs.
  (e.g., Canon AE-1, Pentax K1000, Yashica Mat-124G, Pentax 67)
• Removable Back Camera - For medium format cameras with detachable film backs.
  (e.g., Mamiya RB67, Mamiya RZ67, Hasselblad 500C/M)

Bring your camera back to life—with just the right amount of care to keep it shooting strong.
