I bought my Elan 7 brand new back in 2003 and used it for many important shoots back in the day. It also has gone on many trips with me. So this camera has sentimental value to me. I do have a backup Elan 7 which I switched to for now, but I'd like to get my original Elan fixed if possible. What the issue is the door latch has gone south, as it won't hold the door closed. For the last while, I had to close the door, hold the switch, and push the switch up for the door to stay closed. Now it won't stay closed at all. The door popped open while I had a roll loaded into it, all on its own.
Im not sure what exactly the issue is, whether a bent pin or what have you, but is this something that is still possible to fix? I know parts for this camera are probably nill. I dont even know if Canon Canada will still repair these old film cameras or not. Who would I send it to?
