Hi,
Does anyone knows where to send a contax T3 in europe? My contax need a little repair, and I can't find anyone to fix it in france.
Adresses outside europe could be usefull too.
thanks,
t.

Salut,
En France / Europe je ne peux pas t'aider mais aux Etats Unis il y Mark Hama et Nippon Photo Clinic. Dependemment du probleme ca va te couter entre $160 a $190 (ht) tant qu'ils n'ont pas a remplacer l'unite objectif/obturateur ($500+ d'apres Nippon Photo).
Can't help you much for France & Europe, but in the USA I've used Mark Hama and Nippon Photo clinic. I've typically paid between $160 to $190 for repairs (before taxes), depending on the issue. Replacing the lens & shutter unit is a $500+ expense.
My repairs consisted of a jammed shutter / lens barrel.
Mes problemes avec mes T3 se sont limites aux volets ne se fermant pas et a l'obturateur qui se coince / l'objectif ne voulant plus se retracter.

Merci,
It's just a little problem with the battery : les piles se déchargent beaucoup trop vite !
thanks !
EDIT : I found mark hama's contact, but not nippon photo clinic, would you post it here?

Battery issues can be many things that don't need repair...
Have you eliminated the battery itself as the issue? (aka, do you have a brand name battery in there or a cheap brand?)
Is it something that only happens in cold weather? (you have to keep this puppy warm, though I used mine in the NYC snowstorms recently and it performed splendidly.)
Clean contacts?
Hope you don't have to send it out. Superb camera.

Yes, I changed many time my batterys to be shure, but I didn't tried to clean contacts. I just did it even though they didn't seemed to be dirty at all.
And, no, apparently, it's not the weather, I thought the same way at first but it's not.
How would you clean contacts?
thanks for all.

If I recall correctly, Kyocera NY offers flat rate service ($17x) which covers both parts and labor.

sorry to bring this thread back, but how much are we thinking to just replace the shutter?
Thanks
Thanks
