dshombert Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 <p>Does anyone know if John Hermanson (Camtech) is out of commission for some reason? I've had two OMs in for repair for about five months, and now I'm not even getting a response to email. I've dealt with John in the past and know him to be honest and capable, so I'm wondering if he's sick or something. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_poropat Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 <p>Last I heard from John himself was 4 months ago. He explained that he is now the factory service for Tamron Lenses and has scaled back on vintage Olympus due to demand on his time. Odd that you would not hear from the man himself. Hope all is well, just busy.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusk Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I sent john an Om1 about a month ago and we exchanged emails at that time. I've had no other occasion to contact him since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dshombert Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 <p>I'm happy to report that I heard back from John. Apparently an email or two went astray. He is fine, although somewhat backed up with repairs. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_hermanson2 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 <p>Yes, I'm very busy with my full time job at Tamron, servicing the new VC 70-200 (A009), the new 24-70 (A007). Sorry, there's not enough OM to support a family. I do OM work on some nights and weekends. Your repair was shipped 6 weeks ago, 3/27.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zach_casley Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 <p>Hi All,<br> Hope resurrecting this post isn't an issue. I'm trying to contact John as well as I have a camera with him for repair, and his email address seems to have stopped working. Does anyone have an updated email for him? It's a bit problematic to call as I'm in Australia.</p> <p>Thanks very much.<br> Zach</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aoresteen Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 <p>Just an update. I have been in contact with John recently. All is well. He has two OM-1s and a MD-2 & Ni-Cad control pack of mine for service. His current turn-around time is about 10 weeks. Well worth the wait.</p> <p>Just plan ahead :) !</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
