Does anyone know if Horst Wenzel is still working repairing cameras today? Or has he finally retired? I have a Pentax 67II I'd like him to go over in regards to a battery drain and maybe check the camera over.

He repaired a camera for me in August 2015, and said nothing about retiring.

If you /google his name his address (on West 38th) and telephone number come up on the "411" site listings.

Say hi to his dog .

Just talked to him on the phone. He won't repair my camera because its all electronic and there are no parts available for it. Its sad because these cameras are still $1000-1500 used these days, and it just rendered mine a defective unit because it can't be repaired.
