OM, I've become a Zuikoholic!

Does anyone have experience with getting a CLA for an OM-4ti? I'm in Europe.
I emailed Michael Spencer, but he's retired and only does OM-1's for fun. He recommended Advanced Camera Service, Norfolk and Watton. I can't find the last one. Norfolk hasn't written me back and Advanced Camera Service (ACS) has quoted me 56£ for a full CLA. Does anyone have experience with them? It's a great price, too great a price even, which makes me a little hesitant.

EDIT: ACS in Norfolk, Watton. It's not three companies, it's one, haha! Anyway: does anyone have experience with these guys? I've heard great things about Michael Spencer, so I figured the person he'll recommend won't be bad either.

No expierience with those guys and I don't think you get a cla for that price, but I also have sent cameras to OM-doktor in Hamburg and he has always done a good job for a reaonable price (om-1n and om-3) I think it was in the €150 region.

I've used all fancy Googling tricks I know of to see if anyone had experiences with them. Three user reports: two positive, one said they were really shady.
For like 60€ more I can hopefully have it CLA'd by guys who know their stuff.
I'll email Michael Spencer to ask if he can elaborate a litte about ACS.

Was rummaging through the Oly thread and saw some of your images with an OM-1n and 1,4/50mm. Nice looking images. Making me consider film again. Heading out to shoot a Yashica Electro35 GS that once belonged to my dad. Thanks for the inspiration! (Oh, my first 'serious' SLR was an OM-10. Ended up with two, sold and bought two OM-2S bodies, and finally went to two OM-4T bodies. Love the light weight and the metering system of the OM-4 is the best I have ever used.)
 
Thank you seagrove... :)

I have been on holidays and the last days I have begun to develop my rolls of film... here you have the first photo:


OM-1n + G. Zuiko 50mm 1.4​
 
Thank you very much Ljós.

This one is HP5 Plus exposed at 400 ISO and developed with Fomadon R09 [1+100 dilution and 60 minutes].
 
Ah, thank you, Shab. I thought I saw some pictures of yours on your blog in this style with FP4. Then I wondered about the grain size, but with Rodinal etc. it would not have been impossible. HP5 of course!
I love the way the picture looks like it were drawn with a very soft pencil.
Greetings, Ljós
 
Yes, in our travel to Stockholm I bring 30 rolls of FP4+ and 2 rolls of HP5+. This photo is from one of them. :)

In my blog there are some photos with FP4 Plus developed with HC110, you are right. :)

Thank you very much again, and yes, I love this style, like it was drawn with a very soft pencil... love it! And the G Zuiko 50mm 1.4 is very special for it.
