At ACR, I specialize in mail-order restoration of classic manual-focus 35mm film cameras dating from 1970 to 1990. I can service many of the classic manual-focus SLRs that no longer have factory parts available. While I can’t make them look or operate like new, I can restore them to good working order if the camera is not worn out from use. It’s not the camera’s external appearance that’s important; what counts is how much film has been run through it.
Most of the cameras sent to ACR stopped working years ago and have been in storage. Typically, customers want their cameras restored to good working condition so they can start using them again to take film pictures for enjoyment or to pass them on to their children. Please call or email before sending your camera to inquire about my current turnaround time. I have been repairing 35mm film cameras since 1978.
