Nice guy, I've had a couple of things done by him. Reasonable prices, good work.
Lives a couple of miles from me so very handy.

This is all sounding good. I hope I have a similar good story to tell soon

I posted my K3 late afternoon on the 3rd Feb. It had the vertical banding problem. Recieved a replacement this morning 14th Feb.

my story has been sorted too by the looks of it. Got the camera back about 2 weeks after it arrived with them.This is all sounding good. I hope I have a similar good story to tell soon
Looks to be sorted but won't know for sure until I get to try it out again later in the month. Johnsons Photopia were easy to deal with and appear to have sorted the problem in a quick and professional manner.

Anything other places generally recommend not mentioned already in the thread??
Recently repaired a Canon 70-300mm L USM lens and a Pentax DA 55-300mm for me, quick turnaround and decently priced. Have used him for other lenses previously although I did send a 50-135mm to Johnsons when it needed a new SDM motor (as he had never done one before) and that was also speedy.
