Restoring Cameras with Care and Precision
From routine cleaning and lubrication to complex shutter and lens repairs, this gallery showcases my work restoring film cameras and lenses to their full potential. Each project is approached with precision, care, and a deep understanding of camera mechanics, whether it’s a classic 35mm SLR, a medium format camera, or a delicate rangefinder. My goal is to preserve the character and integrity of each piece while ensuring it performs reliably for years to come.
Every repair is an opportunity to breathe new life into a camera; restoring smooth operation, accurate metering, and precise focus. Whether it’s a beloved collector’s piece or a professional tool for active use, my work combines meticulous attention to detail with a passion for film photography.
