Sad to say that no matter how good his CLA work is, I cannot recommend Mark Hama... TERRIBLE communication, over two months and only one email saying he got back from vacation. He cashed the check a month ago. I just want to know the status. Since I found out about him on this thread, if anyone else does the same, I suggest someone else. I hate writing things like this, but I really just want my camera back.

See, I warned you.

Did everyone get their stuff back? I was just looking for the best place to send my VERY used black Canonet Ql17GIII (made in Japan). I got it for a great price considering it's color and origin but it needs a good CLA from a pro, not just a tabletop lube job & tighten-up. Just wondering if Tony or Jason got their cameras back from Mr. Hama.
