How far away is Essex Camera? Will Youxin Ye work on a Canon 7? He would be my first choice if he does. Youxin is in Boston.

Where's Barrett? He may have an idea.

Yeah, try Eddy Smolov first.

i'm in brooklyn. essex is in jersey. on a map it doesn't look far. it's not. but in new york city, distance is measured in time, not miles or kilometers. it takes hours to go five miles and back!

thanks for the smolov lead. i'll hit him up monday.

Enter USPS. I live days away from Sherry Krauter. If I need work, I send it via USPS.

There he goes, bringing up my name again...! 😉

Anyway: the last placed I went to was actually in Manhattan: Nippon Camera Repair (212-982-3177/920 Broadway, #705). I've used them for years. Can't guarantee they'll handle Canon 7's, but I'd be surprised if they can't do anything for you.

(As far as travel time in New York City is concerned, I think Einstein's Space-Time theory is exempt within city limits.)

I've used Nippon in the past. I was pretty satisfied with the work they did. This included a major repair on my m6.

actually, i think einstein's theory is EXEMPLIFIED by life in new york, where the passage of time is relative to how fast you are traveling. i actually believe that i am several minutes younger (but angrier) than someone else who has traveled the same distance in a different city... something to do with time dilation.

I second Nippon Photo, really nice guys...
