Former Repair staff of Lens & Repro and Calumet NYC out on their own

[CameraDoctor]

Greetings all!

I see this forum has been around for quite some time, I guess I'm a little late... lol
I was a long time Repair Associate of Lens and Repro (which was the place to go for Large/Medium Format Photo Equipment in NYC). Worked hand in hand daily with the repair tech Frank R. until the store merged with Calumet. I then became the Repair person at Calumet until they closed in March of this year. Once Calumet closed their doors I went and knocked on Frank's door, who had opened a repair shop at the School for Alternative Photography in NYC. Now we are working together under the name Camera Doctor. We are repairing/customizing all sorts of cameras, especially large format cameras and lenses.
As I scan this site Im happy to share whatever advise I can.

Good news for the old equipments owers.

[Mark Sampson]

Welcome aboard! Good repairmen are few and far between, as you know already. And many people here prefer older equipment. You should get plenty of work, and plenty of chances to give free advice, on this forum.

Thanks. Bookmarked the website!

You should post this on apug.org as well, if you haven't already.

Works well here.

Works well here, too. Very slow to load, however. Took 20 seconds before frames began to appear.

I rather expect it to work somewhere. I presume (hope) they actually tested it before putting it online.

But for a website to "work", it must work everywhere, not just somewhere.

Running Firefox on Mac OS X here.
