I have not had a lot of dealings with John H. (most stuff is easier to get
done locally - Oz), but I've never had a problem.

> John has a long history of helpful information and a good reputation

> about equal to the retail value of the camera, I had the camera
> back, and used it on a commercial shoot. Big mistake. Still didn't
> work. I let John know, and he agreed to fix what he didn't. Smarting
> from a botched job, I waited a while (ok, more than two years), with
> the OM-1 pretty unusable to me (as a studio shooter, all i use is
> strobe). I finally decided to sell the body. I asked John to follow
> through on the repair he'd not completed (I offered to pay for parts),
> so that I could in good faith sell a fully working body.

> John refused. He said, in so many words, that he didn't legally have
> to, so he wouldn't.

> The bottom line seems to be that John will take the time that he
