Agfa Record iii

[Roughcollie]

I have a Agfa Record iii with a Solinar Lens and Compur-Rapid Shutter which I would like to have a new bellows fitted and a complete service on it.
I have had 2 quote to do this and they are pretty much the same,one is in from Newton Ellis & co in the UK and the other from Jurgen Kreckel of Certo 6
in the USA.
Has anybody have dealings with either company as I am not sure which one to send it to.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards Nigel

Lovely camera: the lens is soft and prone to flare but capable of exquisite results in the right conditions.

I bought mine from Certo 6 but have used Newton Ellis for other purposes so I have previous connections to both but not direct experience of what you are asking.

I would contact the one most convenient. Both are credible providers, email/contact them to find out more.

Also check out Sandeha Lynch on Filmwasters.com who can also support: he's in the UK too.
