What customers say
I have a Contax T2 that had fungus in the lens and sent it to Nippon for repair. They were speedy to notify me when they received the camera in the mail and how much it was going to cost. I was surprised that they were able to replace the whole lens element.
I've taken my Hasselblad to three different continents in 2021, and even started 2022 half way across the world-- but when I noticed issues popping up I wanted someone nearby to repair it. I'm so thankful I gave Nippon Photoclinic a shot. They repaired the camera body and the lens.
Sent my contax t3 in to be repaired after purchasing a faulty camera off eBay seller. There were existing problems with the autofocus circuit. Had the full overhaul cla. After receiving the repaired camera the autofocus issue still remains.
I put my Contax Aria and S2 for service here. Contax users all know Contax will break, but specialize in service them. My Aria has really, really bad shutter mechanism that’s basically broken. They are returned working great.
