mich8261 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 my fiancée has a broken Minolta x700 (film won't advance anymore). Can someone recommend a reputable repair shop in New York City? Or should she just send it to Minolta? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_olander1664878205 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Good used x700s are going for less than $100. A you sure it's worth fixing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger_smith4 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Try this shop: http://www.garryscamera.com/ They fixed my X-700 for $40 + $8 shipping. New X-700's in good condition go for between $100 and $120, so it was worth it for me. I doubt Minolta will touch it. Adorama has a good repair shop in midtown, but you'll have to ask them for the address because I don't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaburdette Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I would recommend Garry as well. I sent my X-570 to him with a jammed shutter. For $48 including return shipping he repaired the camera and did a complete CLA. Camera was beautiful inside and out. It only took two weeks from the time I dropped the camera with UPS until I got it back. For only $48 for that kind of service I would not hesitate to send him another camera. -Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mich8261 Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 thank you all for your replies. The camera will be off to Garry soon. Now any recommendations for repairing a Tamron adaptall manual focus lens? It is not glass related. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murrayatuptowngallery Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I'm watching posting dates to figure out if Garryscamera is still around. The website was inaccessible a moment ago (first time I looked for it). Are they still active as of 5-31-05? Thanks Murray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
