            Why buy from us, not eBay

            A working camera, guaranteed.

            Every SLR in our shop has been fully refurbished, tested with professional equipment, and sold with a warranty.

            01

            Past the surface

            Most resellers clean the outside and call it done. Our techs go further: full internal service, part replacement where needed, and recalibration to factory tolerances.

            02

            A real repair department

            Cameras come in broken and leave shooting. Our repair department is in-house, which means faster turnaround and no guessing games about what was actually done.

            03

            Verified, not assumed

            Shutter speeds, meter accuracy, and focus calibration all get checked against professional test equipment and factory specs.

            04

            Warranties on every camera, extended options available

            Every camera comes with a warranty. Want longer? We offer extended warranties at checkout. Something goes wrong, bring it back.

            The SLR service process

            5 steps

            Every SLR that we refurbish gets the same treatment, regardless of brand or value. No shortcuts.

            Step 01

            Full intake

            Body opened, mechanics checked, condition logged before any work starts.

            Step 02

            Service the system

            Each camera gets what it needs, mechanical or electronic, to run the way it was built to.

            Step 03

            Dial it in

            Shutter speeds, meter accuracy, and focus all checked on professional gear.

            Step 04

            Replace worn parts

            Wear parts replaced as needed — what gets swapped depends on the camera.

            Step 05

            Second tech signs off

            Every camera is checked by a second technician before it ships. Warranty card issued.

            Risk, removed

            If something is wrong, we fix it.

            Every camera ships with a real warranty. If it stops working we will fix or replace it. We offer affordable extended warranties as well.
