Way down south of what? South Boston, South America, South New Zealand?

There is a list of resources on the LF Home page. I asked and was guided to Flutot's Camera Repair but never used them.

My opinion. Nobody does it better than Carol at flutotscamerarepair.com. She is wonderful to work with. That includes very old vintage shutters as well as the more modern ones.

Any camera repair company can do a CLA on a shutter, you need specialists only if you need parts for old shutters.

That's a fact. The important things to me are trust-worthiness and ability to do the job fast, but right the first time. But some camera repair companies are better with some types of equipment than others. For non-LF gear I highly value those who are factory trained, etc, etc.

If you're talking about an Ilex shutter consider Frank Marshman in Virginia, he bought out the entire parts supply when Ilex ended production. He's closed his shop and now works out of his home. He does other shutters as well; last summer I had three different makes at his shop at the same time.

It's probably wise to contact him first. Drop me a PM or email if you need his contact info.

+3 for Carol at Flutot's

She's done nice work on some of my cranky old dial set shutters
