    Pentax Repair

    I have been out of photography for some time and have put the ye'old Pentax-6x7's back in action.

    Anyone know of any good repair outfits in the US that can give these jumbo's a good tune up?

    I have a few bodies that i used in the field that can use a little CLA.



    Cheers!

    Erick Henderson at www.pentaxs.com does a good job. I sent him a Spotmatic but that's little a brother to the big 6x7, right? I see at his page that he does 6x7s and I can't imagine him doing a bad job on these. My little one came back as new.

    Thanks! I will give them a try.

    You never know who is really good or not with all the different websites.

    Eric just got a camera back to me a couple of days ago. It seems to be running perfectly now.

    Pentax USA still accepts 6x7's for service, all except for the earliest non-MLU bodies.

    Agree that Eric is also worth considering. He did a shutter repair + CLA on an MX body for me recently - the job was reasonably priced and completed within the promised time.

    Eric replied to my email and seams like a stand up guy.

    Going to box up the cams and send them on there way!

    Thanks for the recommendation!

    Erick has worked on several of my Pentax cameras, and each one was perfect. I highly recommend him!
