Pricing
The pricing of any job is split into three parts - the labour itself, possible spare parts and shipping cost. Prices for certain types of cameras are given as a range, as no two models of cameras will incur the same amount of work. You will be quoted the price for the service and possible replacement parts for your specific camera after booking a service for it and after the camera has been inspected.
We do not offer partial services (e.g. only fixing the mirror squeak on a Canon AE-1), as one palpable problem with the camera is indicative of its general shape. We aim to fix the cause, not the symptoms.
The inspection cost of 15€ is only charged, should you refuse to have it repaired after being quoted. The camera is then shipped back to the customer at their expense.
You can find pricing examples and descriptions of included services below for most of the options we offer.
