What’s on the bill…
- full test of shutter speeds (Including Auto mode)
- full test of light meter accuracy (Please make sure you have a fresh battery, we will have some on hand but can’t guarantee we’ll have the correct one)
- check general operation including film advancing, confirm condition of seals etc.
- checking optics/operation of one lens fitted to the camera (e.g. not multiple lenses, so choose wisely)
There are a few cameras that are tricky to test so sadly we have to rule out any APS or half frame cameras. No large format lenses. Pentax 6x7 is sadly a no go due to necessary tools that are unavailable on this occasion due to their size. Obscure formats like 6x17 can have light meters tested but shutter speeds may not be possible (depending on their type of shutter).
When placing your booking please note down the camera model and lens so we know what we’re expecting. Ideally turn up just before your booked slot. Alternatively, you’re welcome to drop the camera off in the morning and we’ll have it looked at during the dedicated time (you will be contacted once the camera is ready to collect, please collect the camera by the end of the day).
