Who repairs Speed Graphics?

I have a Speed Graphic I bought and the focal plane shutter is slow and some speeds such as 1/60 don't work. Can anyone recommend someone to repair it? I tried SK Grimes with no luck. Thanks.

Hmm. Didn't see Speed Graphic listed but I did see he is an independent Leica repair person who is quite a bit closer than some of the others I have used in the past.

Look at the picture. Interesting that you'd be contradicting folks when you have nothing more to offer. :confused:

He is also factory trained Hasselblad guy.

Thanks everyone.

I'll try both suggestions.

Good luck Mr B. A working focal plane shutter is a very useful thing. Makes barrel lens use a breeze!

Brian I have a couple barrel lens that I've been itching to use.

Also FWIW M R B are my initials.

I was not intending to contradict you. I do apologize if that was how you felt.

BrianShaw · Aug 30, 2015

All is forgiven Dan. Apologies to you for being so reactionary.

Pioneer · Aug 30, 2015

Nah, its not an issue.

Besides, now I know where to send one of my Speeds or Crowns if they ever need any attention that I can't give.

Frank Rubio, aka the Camera Doctor, did a superb job overhauling my 1949 Speed Graphic. He's in Manhattan and can be contacted at: (917) 9163396 or email cameraMDfr@gmail.com
Good luck, Paul
