PEN repairs - list of repair shops:

A few weeks ago I visited a huge camera shop, kind of "has-it-all"... well, almost. They had five Pen lenses and one light meter. All lenses were in "bargain" condition. e.g. scratched glass, fungus, sticky aperture etc., the lightmeter for the Pen F was dead.

Let's face it, these cameras and lenses are veterans, and many of them were used intensely.

So, let's make a list of recommendable repair shops.

I found two:

Lens caps

If you lost the rear caps for your Pen FT lenses, the rear caps for modern Micro 4/3 lenses fit.
