Nikkormat FTn Test 1
After a LOOOOONG separation my Nikkormat FTn, the camera I learned on back in highschool (previously my father and grandfather's camera) I got it back from Gus Lazzari at TLC Camera Repair. Here is a mini-review of the service; The Good - camera is back in my hands, looks good (photo's to come later this week) and seems to operate perfectly (mysterious light flare on some negatives I need to investigate further). Also, my initial contact with Gus back in February was so positive I was really happy, we had a couple conversations on the phone and he is clearly a knowledgeable and enthusiastic Nikon guy. The Bad - The estimate was for 8 weeks and ~$100-125 for repair of two FTn bodies, and he was also going to take a look at some lenses and give me a quote upon receipt. After he got the camera's, the quote went to ~$100 per body.. I wasn't happy but given that the original quote was sight unseen I guess I can understand.. but nearly a 100% delta seems high to me. Anyway, I had Gus do one of the two camera's instead of both and settled in to wait. Unfortunately the 8 week estimate turned into 16 weeks.. I'd say that is unacceptable but could be understood if there was some positive communication initiated by Gus. Unfortunately I did not hear from him until I got a hold of him directly, the conversation was fairly terse and it still took a couple weeks to see the camera. So timeline and customer service negatives for me. Conclusion - Checking out his website frontpage he is now not accepting new repair's till October, so he must have gotten overwhelmed in the first half of this year. Sounds like a small, or one-man shop so I guess I can understand that happening. Again the biggest problem for me was the huge difference in my pre-'sale' conversations with Gus and then the lack of communication as time drug on. I wouldn't say anything bad about the quality of his work though. I'll post again when I figure out what is up with the weird light flare in test shot #4.
How I think I saved some money
My Nikon FM10 (I know it's not a true Nikon, don't be a pedant) jammed sometime last year or late 2006. A Chicago-based photo supply chain quoted me $140 for the repair, which was more than I paid for the camera, so I stuck it on the shelf and forgot about it. It appears as though all I had to do was remove four screws, adjust part 1 and move part 2 back into its correct position. I may have just made the whole thing worse, I don't know. It survived a roll of XP2, so I am optimistic. (If you try to do this and you break your camera/make the situation worse, don't blame me!)
