I realized that I paid the repair person with paypal. So I filed a complaint within paypal. Hopefully that will help too.

I have never used small claims court. If the other party is in another state, it seems that you have to file the claim in their state. Does that mean you have to appear in court in their state? ...

Thanks, Brian, I will also send a demand letter.

I want it returned. He claims he did repair it, but at this point I just want it back, whether it's repaired or not. If not, I can send it to a different repair person.

I am trying to get some...

Hi, I sent my 4x5 camera to a repair person in another state a year ago. He put the wrong type of bellows on it, and he did not attach the bellows correctly to the camera. So I sent it back to him a...

Ok, I won't use trichloroethylene! I was also thinking alcohol might work.

Ok, I like those things too. Just wondering: after you've scraped as much as possible off, do you use some sort of solvent to get the front and back completely clean?

I think it is the cable release rather than the shutter, because I tried these cable releases on two other shutters, and the same thing happened. They must be getting old or something.

I decided to buy a cable release with a longer "throw." Hopefully this will fix the problem.

haha! Looks like you have plenty.

I have several cable release things for my 4x5 camera. On two of them, the pin sticks out about 1/4" when you press the button. Usually, that's enough to trigger the shutter on the lens. Today,...

Hi, I am processing 4x5 film for the first time in a few years. In the past I was able to do this without scratching any film, but now I seem to have trouble NOT scratching the film! I use Ilford...
