colt_hagmaier Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 I've come to the conclusion through this site and visits with numerous photo shops that my AF needs lubrication. Does anyone know how much of a process this is and how much something like that should cost. I have never had a camera repaired and I want to know what to expect before I just hand it over and say fix it. Even with an estimate, I don't know if $50 would be fair or a rip or what, so any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabri Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Hi Colt! I think to have the same problem with my camera... What's wrong with yours? Is the AF noisy?? Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mskovacs Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 I don't know about your specific issue but $50 is fair as a starting point. Most camera techs aren't going to do even the most minor work for any less than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colt_hagmaier Posted May 20, 2004 Author Share Posted May 20, 2004 Yes, the AF is very noisy. It resembles rubbing glass together or fingernails across a chalkboard. It is a terrible sound. Certainly could not shoot wildlife with it and it is always the center of attention when there are people about. It is an older camera, but in mint condition, so I thought I'd see about fixing it. I can not use it as it is, its just too noisy. Plus I am scared that all that noise will damage something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
