Re: Recomendations for where to CLA an MX ESII?
I recently posed the same question and several list members suggested Premier Camera Service in Tennessee. I was very pleased with the results. The communication was very fast, the prices reasonable, and the cameras back quickly and looking and acting brand new. Go to www.premier-camera.com.

I know you said preferably in the US, and I'm sure you'll get lots of suggestions, but I'll chime in with my guys here in Toronto, Komineks: http://www.kominek.com/ They have a former Pentax Canada repair guy on staff, who really knows what he's doing. FWIW, they also have a former Leica guy, too. Dave Chang-Sang (formerly of this list) brought them a Pentax zoom that Pentax Canada refused to touch (no parts), and Komineks repaired it, and at a very reasonable price. They've CLA'ed my MX as well as a couple of my Spots, with no problems. I don't know about ES's, but you could always ask them - they return e-mails very promptly. So, if you have to ship your bodies out anyway, going across the border won't make that much difference (well, it may be a bit slow coming back into the US, due to all that security stuff at the border, but it'll get there...). cheers, frank -- It's about time we started to take photography seriously and treat it as a hobby. -Eliott Erwitt

Hi Cesar, Thanks very much for the recommendation! I will try to give them a call tomorrow. Hoepfully they (and you) are doing alright from the hurricane that just blew through. Take care and thanks again! --- Cesar Matamoros II [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Steve, I had the perfect place in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. They have most recently CLA'd most of my M42 camera bodies. They also have familiarity with the K-mounts. I always used to stop in and look at their used cameras. All work is done in house and they have different people who work on particular cameras. They also pointed me to some excellent people to work on my Nikonos V system. They were not comfortable in providing a top-notch job in house. The last time I was in the neighborhood, I went to visit - and they were gone Such sadness. I received a post card from them. They have moved.
