Default CLA shop in Chicago

Can anybody recomend a good shop for a CLA of a manual SLR? Also any info on a good lab for E-6 would be great too.

Thanks.

I use Bob Watkins at Precision Camera Works for most of my camera repair needs and highly recommend him. His contact info is at: http://www.precisioncameraworks.com/Pages/contact.html

Dear Derek,

Assuming you will be visiting the downtown area, check out http://www.gammaphoto.com/.

The shop I use for repair (http://www.royalcameras.com/) is well west of the city and you won't be able to get overnight service there for your camera. They do a good job at a reasonable price, but it always requires 3 weeks.

It may be also worth giving Central Camera Co a try.
