Hope everything is alright. Hama's work is a great service to the film community.

I've never used Mr. Hama. But I know that he is reliable, I hope all will be well for him after 2/2020.

I just called him to check on an Electro 35 CC of mine he's had for months. It needs parts, which are hard to find stateside. I had a kind member offer to send me his parts CC from Germany. I called Mark and he said: "No, don't do that. I'll find parts for cheap on ebay. Sometimes it takes several months."

I think I will check back in a month or so and if there's still no progress, I will ask for a refund and my camera back. It's about 6 months now... I think it's you guys, flooding him with Yashica Mat work, hehehehe.

I would ask for it back.
You already offered him parts that he apparently needs. He refused saying he will keep on looking on ebay, with no idea how long that would take?

I'd only use him for Yashicamat work. It seems that he takes in other stuff that he is not so expert at. He messed up two of my cameras that he said he could service (Zeiss Contessa and Voigtlander Vitessa).
