  Anyone know of a place that does camera repair/cleaning that is open right now?

  Have friends that have used Nippon photo clinic before. Per their site it looks like they’re only accepting mail in service, but might be worth giving them a call 212-982-3177. Looks like the other main repair place, Photo tech, is doing service via shipping-only too. Their number is 212-673-8400. I’d call both places and see if they work on your model camera. Then I’d ask what their plans are for re-opening if you’re not comfortable mailing it in. Good luck!

  Gregg O. asked:

  Does anybody know of a source for replacement leather handles for a Wista 45 DX or some reasonable facsimile that might be a good fit ? Maybe any custom leather handle makers you may have dealt with in the past that you are happy with and would recommend ?

  Yesterday my Google ninja skills led me to one Wista repair and parts person who unfortunately passed away I think in 2012 but his inventory of parts were bought by this other company in NYC that is apparently the main U.S. authorized service center for both Wista and Linhof. I'm going to stop in at their location in the coming weeks to see if I can get the handle and a few other parts I need. They seem to be the best remaining source here in the U.S. Nippon Photoclinic, Inc. 920 Broadway, Suite 705, New York, NY 10010 212 982-3177 or 212 736-4663 http://nipponphotoclinic.com

  Steven U. asked:

  My Nikon SB-600 Speedlight has bitten the dust, just plain stopped working. Do any of our photographers have a recommendation for a repair service?

  A dear friend who teaches at the School of Visual Arts also recommends Nippon Photo Clinic, (212) 982-3177, and I've certainly experienced good, reasonably-priced service there. However, try searching for the symptoms on fixya.com - last time my camera stopped working, I found it was simply a question of cleaning dust out of the A/V output, which I had never used. I found this, relevant to your problem: Let's force the flash to fire: Install fresh batteries. Turn on flash, do not connect to camera Wait until flash is ready Get a small wire with insulation and strip both ends about 1/8". With one end of the bare wire lead, touch/hold CENTER TIP Contact(silver pin from flash). Make sure flash head is not pointing at your face. With other end touch bare wire to OUTSIDE Contact (silver on outside of hot shoe that rides into camera hot shoe rails-this is ground). Flash should fires, gets a flash out of the flash tube. If not, you have flash problems. You most likely hurt the flash by using the dome filter on top of flash. Over 80% photographers are doing this way when shooting flash photography. And 95% for wedding photographers. This will shorten the life of the flash. Even more with that adapter parked onto the flash.
