Does anyone know a place that overhauls 3D film cameras? I tried Eddie Bowers at stereocraft.com, but he sat on the camera for 11 months and didn't do anything, so I need to find someone else.

<p>Used him once and it was a bad experience. He's quite advanced in age I believe, and he is very difficult to get in touch with and is very slow. Also, he failed to fix the rangefinder on the Contax IIa it took him half a year to service.</p>

<p>My Rolleidosdop has developed a sticky pneumatic shutter brake. Does anyone know of anyone reputable who repairs these cameras? Thanks.</p>

<p>They do, both T90 bodies are otherwise working fine. One has been recently overhauled by Steve Sweringen, so I doubt it's the culprit.</p>

<p>I was using my T90 and 300 TL flash, and they were working, fine, until they weren't. For some reason I kept getting the same reading in the VF regardless of flash mode or setting on flash or camera: shutter speed 1/250, f32 (flashing indicator) and the M indicator. The FEL mode won't work at all; the spot meter button lights up the side bar but there is no display there. The camera lens is set on A. This is true for this 300 TL flash unit on both T90 bodies I've tried it on. Has anyone else experienced this?</p>

<p>First time I tried to operate the lens with the main shutter on 1/8 and the LS on 1/500, the mirror got stuck halfway up. It remained up, regardless of whether I pushed the reset button, until I removed the battery and re-inserted it about a half a minute later. When the battery is replaced, the mirror descends and the film advance unlocks. Is this a fault with this lens? I've heard that it's a bit bulky. This camera has otherwise been great for years. I recently cleaned the shutter dial contacts so it isn't that.</p>

<p>I know Ross Yerkes is the recognized expert in Norita repair in the US, but it's clear to me, after speaking with him, that he's more than a little strange. The nature of his online presence and the reports about his racism disturb me enough that I wouldn't even consider doing business with him. Can someone recommend another good tech who services these cameras, in the US or elsewhere?</p>
