Mechanical and early electronic 35mm SLR cameras are built with intricate mechanisms that rely on precise timing and smooth mechanical movement. Over time, lubricants dry out, shutter speeds drift, and internal components accumulate dust and debris. Our complete service restores proper operation and reliability so your camera can continue producing consistent results.
During a full service, the camera is carefully disassembled to access the shutter, mirror mechanism, and film advance system. Old lubricants and contaminants are removed, and critical moving parts are cleaned and relubricated with modern materials designed for long-term stability.
The shutter is inspected, cleaned, and adjusted for accurate timing across all speeds. The mirror box and linkage mechanisms are serviced to ensure smooth mirror movement and proper damping. Film advance and frame spacing mechanisms are checked and calibrated to ensure reliable transport and accurate frame spacing.
The focusing screen, prism, and viewfinder optics are cleaned to improve brightness and clarity, and light seals and mirror dampers are replaced where necessary to prevent light leaks and protect internal components.
After reassembly, the camera is tested and calibrated to confirm proper shutter timing, film transport, and overall operation. The result is a camera that feels smoother, operates more reliably, and is ready for many more rolls of film.
