in a related note...
i had the good fortune of initially reading about krimar photo on this forum for rollei TLR repairs. i contacted him about my ailing rolleiflex 6002 - an SLR - and he said he would take a look at it. he said he primarily worked on rollei TLR's and that parts might be a problem for my camera...
doing business with mr. maralian at krimarphoto
is like basking in the warm glow of a sunset on a cool evening. that is, it is comforting and reassuring and satisfying.
he does excellent work at a very reasonable price. the repair work is done correctly the
first time.
the repair(s) are done promptly and the camera is very, very, carefully packaged before being shipped back. i
thought i had carefully packed my camera when i sent it to him...so i thought. it was returned wrapped in bubble wrap surrounded by packing peanuts in a small box with foam in the bottom of the box...which was packed inside a larger box surrounded by packing peanuts.
the care exhibited in his skilled repairs carries over to his regard for his customer's camera.
then, as a peitite bon mot he included a new (old stock, in the factory wrapper) film insert. i consider it a gracious nod of appreciation for my business. oops, almost forgot - he also made a minor repair on the film insert that was shipped with the camera at no charge.
i have decades and decades (and decades) of experience having various photographic equipment repaired. i consider krimarphoto to be the standard other photographic technicians should aspire to. (precision camera in austin , texas - which works on practically evertything photographic - is another example of the same type business...their specialty is leica)
just bought a rolleicord v with sticky slow shutter speeds and plan on sending it to him after i try a test roll or two. oops, almost forgot , my camera came back working
and looking better than when i sent it out.
breathe, relax and enjoy.
