CLA in Ontario or Quebec?

Doc W · Jul 15, 2015

I have a few lenses for my Mamiya RB67 that need a CLA. The only place in Ottawa seems, to me, to be very expensive ($300 for a CLA on a 90mm). Do any of you fellow Canucks know of anyone doing this work in Ontario/Quebec, or even Canada in general?

I'm not sure if they would service RB67 lenses, but in a friend's case, Kindermann had repaired a lens they did not list as one they'd fix. Gerry Smith; their senior technician, is excellent at what he does. It would be worth it to inquire about this. I've always been delighted with their quality of service, as have my friends who have sent equipment in to be serviced.

Or you can try Nortown Photo in Burlington. Tony has worked on a bunch of my MF and LF lenses.

One of the better know techs in Montreal is Marc Carrier at marccarriere@videotron.ca. He takes care of all my photo needs small, medium and large format. Great service and great price. I use to go get it done at larger places (now all gone) but their prices were crazy especially for large format lenses.

You could also try Kevin Lee.
He is a Mamiya trained repair tech.
Last I used him he was in Markham Ontario.

I have also used Camtech in Hamilton for my Rollei with good results.

Good luck.

I finally got around to getting some lenses fixed and took them to Marc Carriere in Montreal. Very good, very nice and very accommodating.
