Mamiya M645 1000s Repair Shops

I just bought a Mamiya M645 1000s body and was wondering where to

send it for a check up/CLA. I understand that Mamiya USA is

expensive and I am looking for a good independent shop that knows the

M645 1000s.

I am in Florida but would ship the camera anywhere in the lower 48

states.

I decided that the Hasselblad 40mm lenses or the SWC are just too

expensive so I opted to get the M645 1000s and the 35mm Mamiya lens

instead. I might get the 145 SF lens and the 500mm f/5.6 Mamiya

lenses as well.

Thanks!

If you are in Central Florida, you could take it to Southern Technical Photo, in Orlando. They do decent work at a reasonable rate and have a pretty decent reputation. Or you could send it off to KEH. I know they do repairs and CLAs, but I've never had any work done by them before. I have bought a fair amount of gear from them, and would certainly do so again in the future if that is any help.

Check with Camera Service Center in Ozark, AL. Oscar is getting a little up in years but still knows his business. I just had an F2 CLA'd there and an F4s is getting some repairs now. I've always had the very best service there. (334)774-4042. It's a classic camera shop.

Another possibility for you is Hill camera Repair and Service in Springfield, IL. They handle almost all the repairs for every single camera store from Peoria south through Bloomington, East to Indy and west to KC.

if you google hill camera repair springfield, IL it'll give you the phone number.

OK, it's 12 years later and need to have my 1000S serviced again. :) The mentioned shops are all closed. So who is servicing these old work horses? I now live a bit south of Atlanta in Newnan GA.

Thanks!

Thanks! I'll see what they offer.

I also found Forest Camera Repair in TN. They did a Mamiya RB67 65mm lens service for me a couple of years ago and list Mamiya 645 on their website:

Another place you could try is Blue Moon Camera in Portland Or. You'd have to contact them to see if they could work on your camera.
