FAQ
Good to know
How much does a repair cost?
It depends on the model and the fault. That is why we do not list fixed prices: once we see the gear we send you a personal quote, and we only repair if you agree.
Can I send my camera by courier?
Yes. We accept gear from Romania and from any other country. Once you contact us we confirm the address, and when the work is done we ship your gear back by courier, anywhere in the world.
I live outside Romania. How do I send my gear?
Write to us before shipping so we can agree on the courier and parcel insurance together. For shipments from outside the European Union, we also go over the customs paperwork and shipping costs beforehand.
Do you repair old film cameras?
Yes. We also work on classic cameras and lenses, mechanical or electronic: cleaning, lubrication and adjustment (CLA), shutters, rangefinders and manual lenses.
My lens has haze or fungus. Can it be saved?
Most of the time, yes, as long as the glass is not etched. The lens is taken apart, each element is cleaned, then it is reassembled and recalibrated.
What should I include in my request?
The exact brand and model, what the problem is and when it started. If the camera shows an error code, note it down. It helps us give you an accurate estimate.
