Bronica SQ repair recommendations

beemermark · Apr 7, 2023

Tittle pretty much says it. Had an SQ-Ai - it died. Bought a SQ-A body - it died. Got a lot of use out of both before end of life. Now have the original SQ body working just fine but would like to get the other two repaired. I'd give up on the system but have two many lenses and backs.

PPP cameras in the UK will have a good shot at fixing it.

Thanks, but looking for someone in the USA

KEH.com. Or also camera service pro in Atlanta. Both have done great work for me.

Koh’s camera in New York. Owner is a Bronica expert and very nice guy. Contact him to see if he is willing to repair your cameras.

One of the problems with old film cameras is the people who know how to repair them are retiring.

Koh's website says they no longer do any repairs.

KOH's no longer services Bronica cameras. Jimmy retired last I heard.

Frank Marshman - the Camera Wiz - bought Jimmy's stock of Bronica parts and is repairing them.

I had Frank serviced my Bronica S and EC-TL years back. He is a nice guy. I’m glad he is still around to help Bronica users.

I just had a CLA done on my SQ-a, 50mm, and 80mm lens. My 150mm didfn't need service. The good backs I have, and which I replaced the seals on, didn't need service. I'm fortunate, the owner of the camera repair shop I use is younger than me, and able to work on both digital and mechanical cameras. I've also had him do CLAs and repairs on other items and have been pleased.

Is the name of the shop a secret?
