Most "local stores" in my area, (NJ) [and there ain't many local stores
left] DO NOT repair cameras "in-house" because there just ain't that many
"real"
camera repairmen around, and I'm talking repairmen as in John's league, not
the guy in the back who has two small screwdrivers and calls himself a camera
repairman. So, they mostly send them out, and you know what that means- they
probably tack on their own profit on top of what the real repair guy charges.

Camtech is in NY, not NJ. I know the rest of the country thinks NY and NJ
are interchangeable, but believe me, if it was possible to send your camera
to NJ you would, because we'd "make you an offer you can't refuse". And if
you still sent it someplace else we'd see to it your precious 35mm shift lens
had a very unfortunate "accident".
Youz know where I'm comin' from, right? <kiss on both cheeks> <wink>
