I can carry out repairs to your camera when I have time available. As I also work full-time I don't always have a great deal of available time but, as long as you are not looking for a quick turn-around, I can usually manage to fit in most repairs. I'm also always happy to give advice if I can so do get in touch if you have an issue with your camera. The cameras I normally repair include, besides the Contax 139, the Contax 159, the Contax S2 and any of the Yashica FX-3 variants. I can also repair some other Contax and Yashica cameras including TLRs and some rangefinders. Please use the email address on my contact page to contact me.
Contax 139 Service I rarely get sent a camera just to be serviced. They normally get sent to me when they don't work. But most 139s I see are in need of a full service and a minor fault is often just an indication of that. In such cases I will quote for a full service rather than the cost to repair. Sometimes the cost of the service is little more than the cost to repair anyway. A full service is just that. It's not a quick clean, lubricate and adjust (CLA). The camera gets dismantled and everything that needs to be done is done. The check list below shows what I will do but I will also carry out minor repairs, usually at no extra cost. Anything extra that involves extra cost would be notified to the owner before commencement of the work. ![]() Sending cameras to me It is your choice as to how you send cameras to me, however, due to recent issues I have had, I have to advise not using TNT or any of their partners. A recent complaint to them highlighted the impossibility of getting any positive outcome. So the best thing is to just avoid them. Dismantling a 139 in 25 seconds... |
