Who can do CLA on my screw mount Canon?

I have this cute little kit coming in the mail and would like to have it CLA'd. I'd try the usual suspects but I want to have it done this year 🙂, hence my question. Any advice would be appreciated.

Well, that's a tough one. Was Focal Point part of your list?

Zvi has done CLAs on two of my Canon IV cameras at $89. His CLA turn around time was less than a week last month.

I've used his services for at least 12 years with 20 cameras and lenses.

Essex Camera Service in NJ is good, and their turnaround is usually less than 2 weeks.

Karl Bryan in Oregon works on the Canon rangefinders, both the bottom loaders and the later models. He's also a specialist in Minolta Autocord TLRs. You can reach him at karl.kathy@verizon.net. He is very reasonable and quick.

Thanks a bunch everyone for the info, I will ask them for quotes. Btw, I found out that Steve Serota of CCWS can do the CLA as well, he is in PA.

I'll second Essex. I sent two cameras there and they came back as new.

Well, I'm guessing that "wanting to have it done this year" was a reference to the backlog at DAG, but I have to say that he did a great job on the CLA of my V-IT. That camera was smooth as silk with a very clean finder when I got it back. It did take nearly three months, though. 🙁
