Konica Hexar RF repair help.

[Orville]

My Konica Hexar RF needs a new circuit board. Can anyone help me with finding someone who repairs them or point me towards a part or parts camera? Thanks! I love love love this camera and desperately want to get it fixed.

Orville -- welcome -- sorry it's not on a better occasion. I think if you search this forum you'll find others have said that you will have to send the camera to Japan, unfortunately. But, contact Greg Weber (webercamera.com), who is the most knowledgeable Konica repairman in the US (I assume you're in the US) and see if maybe he can help you.

Greg Weber did a CLA for me on my Hexar-RF, but he couldn't replace the shutter control board. So I sent it to Dirk Rösler at Japan Exposures; they did an excellent job, including an additional CLA. The camera is in perfect working condition now. Trouble is, the total repair cost equals or exceeds the camera value. But that's more of a psychological than a real problem. If you love your H-RF, you'll follow a similar route.
