I need contact info for Oleg Khalyavin/Camera repairs

[jan normandale]

Hi everyone, we all talk about Oleg for FSU repairs, and he has a fine website. I just tried two times to email him and got a bounceback using this email address
orders@okvintagecamera.com
anyone have any fresh contact info or an update regarding Oleg?

 

[fraley]

That address was bouncing for me about a month ago. I was wondering the same thing. He sent me email from this address in October, try this:

O K <ok_2017@yahoo.com>

I wonder also what's going on w/ him--not much new stuff?

 

[jan normandale]

thanks Michael, I'll try that email and ask " what's up?"

Oleg also posted last month about having mail problems due to tons of spam. I think he's planning on changing email addresses once the mail server difficulties are overcome. Apparently that hasn't happened yet. I'm sure he's there... busy, busy. Have you tried emailing him from his RFF Public Profile? Just a thought.

 

[joey]

It bounced for me too. I used info@okvintagecamera.com
he replied when I sent email to that address.

Hi.
The last mail i received from him, dated Sep. 6 was from ok@capital.mari-el.ru

Hope this helps.

 

[iñaki]

He explained his email problems HERE

 

[jan normandale]

thanks CV, Joey , Inaki.. I'll try the email above.

Spam .. who knew that product popularized by monty python would become such a staple in our daily lives

Those of us who grew up with frequent helpings of Spam sorta wonder about the rate of heart disease. Nah, we know...

 

[jan normandale]

Anyone else have any ideas regarding Oleg.. he seems to have dropped off the face of the planet. I have tried about 4 different email addresses from his site as well as from RFF members, and I've had no reply or bounced emails.

orders@okvintagecamera.com
ok_2017@yahoo.com
info@okvintagecamera.com
ok@capital.mari-el.ru


Oleg, if you see this could you email or pm me with your coordinates.

Jan

It's nearly Christmas or a New Year celebration in Russia. He's probably out and about drinking with his mates and couldn't be bothered about his unanswered emails sitting in the Mail Box. Try to contact him after 14th of January. I believe in Russia, there're 10-13 days straight of public holidays starting from the 1st of January? 🙂
The guys on this forum could clarify this. 🙂

Joey, thanks for the idea, but I sent email starting in November. I could be reading Russians wrong but I don't think they close down for Christmas and start partying in November. LoL! If they do I might retire there!

thanks for the thought.

 

[Oleg]

Hi all! I am here!
For contacting please use ok@capital.mari-el.ru address - I check it often during working days (but not weekend)...
If you got no any aswer within 2 days please resend email again (maybe first one was lost or marked as spam due to mistake of anti-spam software)

 

[johne]

Jan,
I endorse Oleg without reservation!

You'd better buy your fur hat and get ready ... 😀 Not that they start in November, I believe they start New Years eve and just never stop.

Just FYI, I have tried to contact Oleg several times at various addresses including the ones that have been here and I added a two that I found

I have a pair of Iskras with advance problems and one that works fine A real nuisance to test. I'd be more comfortable if I could get someone who's familiar with them. If I can't find him, I'll like get the third CLA'd in the US. That's routine enough. I've got a Fed 3 with a 1//1000 shutter marking that is very nice but could use new curtains etc. etc.


Too bad we don't have a John Hermanson of Olympus fame who does both Oly SLR and RF. Not cheap, but good. I f I hear back from Oleg I will post something. If anyone has another idea on the Iskra or other FSU's generally, I could use the help. Most cameras I collect are not worth a great deal, but there are a lot of them and ideally I can use each at least for on image.

Any ideas

Also, fyi, I added this to the list of emails for Oleg that Jan posted.

photocameras@mail.ru

I found that on a whois search for his website. I's unusual for a business to use so many emails, except that most of us have several ... and he's in Spam central. That should not affect the Yahoo mail. My concern was that he was ill.

AS for Christmas, it doesn't come until January 7 in Russian and the rest of it is equally delayed, i.e. they use the Julian calendar. And he's been out of service for the last couple of monhs.
