Ross is great guy! Fun to talk to and is very knowledgeable in cameras. He knows what hes doing for sure. Its a pleasure to work with him. I got my Nikon f3 fixed with him. He has a great character and is fun to talk. He is very experienced in the realm of film cameras. I had a great time talking to him about my cameras and the lenses I have for them. He fixed my camera up perfectly and gave me a 6 month warranty. I would highly recommend anyone looking to fix their film cameras whether its a 35mm or medium format or rangefinder. Hes a very fun guy. Going to for any problems I have with my cameras or lenses in the future. 👍😃 Side note like some of the reviews say he does talk about some sensitive topics but you listen to what you want and keep out what you dont. But he is a very nice and friendly guy.
I was in need of a new repair person for mostly old view camera lenses. I gave Ross a try and he CLA’d them all. He also fixed a non-functioning shutter on a Rollie 35. I will use him again. He was very courteous, we didn’t talk politics. Or religion. Neither discussion is something I seek out in a camera repair person. He was interesting and obviously knowledgeable. I don’t know about the prior one star rating on how hard it is to find him. The Garmin nailed it and I parked out front. That didn’t test my navigation skills. He does live and work in a classic LA bungalow walk-up.
Unfortunately I couldn’t get my camera repaired here but they still helped me out allot in explaining my unique problem
I brought my Kowa Super 66 after taking it to another repair shop in Pasadena. I read some interesting reviews online and didn’t know what to expect.My camera would need many things done to it before it could be operational again but I was hopeful.This small business is out of the owners home. The owner is very polite and friendly. His wife is a sweet lady that gave me a nice little bag of dried fruit she made.The owner has many old film cameras and stated he could work on all none autofocus film cameras. If your looking for an old camera or lens, he also sells them. He’ll let you play with some of his collection to try them out.I left my camera and in five days, he called and it was ready.I returned and wow, he fixed and did all the maintenance my camera needed. It was a little pricey but you get what you pay for.I would suggest this business to anyone wanting to fix or buy old film cameras.Also, I read in previous reviews that the owner has some interesting things he talks about that could be offensive to some. Well, with all things in life, you listen, keep what you want in and keep out what you don’t.
The greatest camera shop on the planet. There may be others, but not in this world.
Excellent service, a dying breed of vintage camera reapairmen. A pleasure to converse with and do business with. Ross is truly an expert and professional.
Ross charged me $120 for a simple repair to my canon a-1. It took him 9 months to make the return my camera, and when he did, I found it unrepaired. To be clear, the original cost of my camera was $100.I made the mistake of giving Ross my email for help selecting a zoom lense. Now I am berated daily with right wing conspiracy theories, and overtly racist, antisemitic, homophobic propaganda as well as deliberately inflammatory material.
Great service. Works on every type of camera from modern to early 50s.
Can’t be found easily. No signs.
I am looking for several Noritar 2.0 80mm lenses. Please let me know if you have any for sell.
Do not use this service! This man has an extensive history of anti-Semitic and homophobic remarks across the Internet. Seek help elsewhere.
