'Lost' camera repairers

[Plain Nev]

Last year I traded my Pentax MX in for one from Soperfect Images. This involved getting my camera assessed by his repairer, and he also swapped the focus screen, since I liked the one in my camera. I took a small tumble in the Lakes last week, (I'm fine, but...) as a result my MX got a knock, and its back came open (with 3/4 exposed roll of film inside) and now won't close. I contacted Russell Soper and he has given me the contact details for the repairer he uses, Dave Cole in Somerset, website at http://www.colecamerarepairs.co.uk/index.htm. Waiting on a quote, but I'll likely send the MX to him as he's serviced it already prior to sale.

Funnily enough I went the exact same route. I contacted Sopers about servicing an old clunker of an OM1, and they referred me to Dave. He did a first rate job of it. It actually needed quite a bit of work. All sorted at a very reasonable price. I'm sure you will get on fine with him. He's that sort of bloke.
