Is there any Kiev-2 repair shop in NY?

[jk43]

Hi.
I just bought like new condition of Kiev-2 from eBay but this one has some problem with rangefinder system.
Rangefinder is working well on .9~3 but not moving after 3 to infinity....
I know it is better to buy new one from eBay again but I like this camera very much.
I am living in New Jersey and want to know is there any good repair shop near by.

If you must have some one in NYC you might try this guy: www.fedka.com I like him as a dealer, but I haven't tried his repair service yet.
But, I have good personal experience with and can reccomend Oleg very highly indeed: www.okvintagecamera.com/index.html he is very good and even though he is in Russia, the turn around time was just about a month. And inexpensive.

I was also going to suggest Fedka - I don't know if he does 'sent-in' repair work, but he's well-known as a dealer in FSU cameras that have been gone over to make sure they are in working condition.

BTW, for those not versed in the lore, FSU means "former Soviet Union".

I bought a Kiev 4A latest model with flash synch on top of camera for same price as repair of my other Kiev. He is reliable. This is third Kiev. One with unreliable shutter, the other one giving overlap of negs. This one seems ok until now. You get very sharp pics with this camera.
