My Pentax 645 is making a whirring sound after I trip the shutter. I just put in fresh batteries and I test fire the shutter at all speeds at leat once a month to keep it loose. I contacted Pentax Canada and they don't service these cameras anymore. I would hate to give it up and I don't have enough money to get an alternative right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Doug:smile:

A replacement body, when in stock, and not an N or N II, from KEH is approx $150 plus shipping, taxes, etc. A service is going to be al least half that, maybe more.

They also service cameras.

One 645 user's opinion.

I just contacted Pentax Canada about my 645N and they said no problem, send it in. I would imagine that it could be lack of spares for the 645. I know that revered Pentax repairman Eric Hendrickson (pentaxs.com) says he can no longer work on the 645 (only the 645N/NII).

Thanks all for your suggestions. cowanw I'll give them a call tomorrow. Do you know if they charge a fee just for looking at it?.

I used camtech too, and think they are great and a fair price. They will get more business from me as I CLA my way through my collection.
