What customers say
I have an olympus film camera and it was my dads, but didn't work properly and so I took it to George's camera through a recommendation and so I came here and they told me they don't fix these anymore and there was nothing left to do, but there was another guy who came out and was like..."what are are we working here?
I stopped by because recently I dropped my favorite lens in the world (Sigma 105mm 1.4). Thankfully, by the grace of god Kurt's did some testing and didn't identify any issues. I am thankful for their service and expertise, and speed in getting me in.
I had bought a lens 2nd hand off of eBay (I know, big mistake), but the price made it worth the gamble (Canon EF 70mm-200mm F4L). Upon using it for a few outings, I noticed there was a major issue with focusing not being sharp and even having a "glow" around the subjects.
Simply the best repair shop in the area. Incredibly knowledgeable techs and friendly service. I've had 3 old film Canons CLA'd here, each with varying degrees of wear (Canon Cough, light leaks etc). Every time they come back expertly tuned and ready to shoot.
