    Zenzanon lens repair in Canada?

    My 75mm lens fires only at one speed as far as I can tell. The red light in the corner does not appear during shutter operation. The battery is still good...I checked with another lens. Something ain't right... (I have an ETRS and a 150 lens that does work)

    Any suggestions are quite welcome. Thanks to all and any in advance.

    Precision Camera or CompuTech in Winnipeg should be able to help. They're both on Sherbrook St. Might be worth a phone call anyway. Both places guarantee their work.

    I just got back from Saskatoon yesterday where I made a special trip to Cheng's Cameras. The man is a wizard with film cameras, completely taking apart my Yashica Mat 124G to clean the film lens, re-align the viewing lens, lube and adjust in under 4 hours for $55 plus tax. He has no web site but Google Cheng's and Saskatoon and it will come up. Call him. I do like Precision in Winnipeg as well but they have a harder time coming up with parts and "seem" to be less willing to work on older cameras.
    Once a photographer is convinced that the camera can lie and that, strictly speaking, the vast majority of photographs are "camera lies," inasmuch as they tell only part of a story or tell it in a distorted form, half the battle is won. Once he has conceded that photography is not a "naturalistic" medium of rendition and that striving for "naturalism" in a photograph is futile, he can turn his attention to using a camera to make more effective pictures.

    ETRS lenses are timed in the body, electronically. If other lenses work with your ETRS, then I suspect that perhaps there is a broken wire to one of the contacts on the 75mm lens, so it behaves as if the battery in the body was dead.
