russ_m Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Looking for a qualified tech who can serve professionally Contax IIa or IIIa in Toronto, GTA area, Ontario. Anybody still in business? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_foreman1 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 If you read Henry Sherer's page you'll be convinced that no one in the world other than he personally can work on these cameras, which is not the case. I would of course be looking for anyone who has experience with these models, but a good technician can likely service them. They are over engineered to provide a very exacting high tolerance of which was then, and now a little overkill. Lovely indeed. The advertising of the day referred to it purposefully as "ausgereifte" this means something like the technically matured. I'm sorry not to be able to offer any leads, but be assured while probably over-complicated, they didn't re-invent the wheel here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyfalsetta Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I "second" Chuck's response. Usually these have sluggish shutter controllers and most any experienced tech can clean it up and get it running right. If you have a shutter curtain issue, that is a different story. They are fragile and require a higher level of knowledge to get right. The lenses also can be serviced by someone who isn't a IIa or IIIa specialist. What is the problem with yours?

bobbudding Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Sorry, but I don't know the Ontario camera repair scene. But Mark Hansen, across the border in Wisconsin, does excellent work. ZeissIkonRolleiRepair.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
