LENS CALIBRATION & REPAIR
Autofocus Precision, Optical Cleaning & Aperture Restoration
A misaligned lens can silently ruin thousands of shots. Our calibration bench restores autofocus accuracy, resolves front/back focus issues, and brings aperture blade function back to factory specification. We service prime lenses, zoom lenses, and specialty optics across all mount systems.
- AF microadjustment & focus calibration
- Aperture blade cleaning, repair & replacement
- Optical element cleaning (haze, fungus, dust)
- Declick modification for smooth video use
- Helicoid lubrication & focus smoothness
- Mount repair and re-cementing
All lens calibration work is verified on live camera bodies before return. We test across multiple focus distances to confirm real-world accuracy, not just bench numbers.

SENSOR CLEANING
Professional Sensor Cleaning for DSLR & Mirrorless Bodies
Dust, debris, and residue on a camera sensor cause dark spots that appear in every image - especially visible in bright sky shots or narrow apertures. Our professional sensor cleaning service removes contamination safely using both dry and wet cleaning methods, restoring image quality without risk to your sensor coating.
Dry Cleaning
Electrostatic removal of loose dust particles - safe for all sensor types, fast turnaround. The ideal first-pass method for most contamination.
Wet Cleaning
ECLIPSE fluid and swab method for stubborn residue and oily spots - performed by trained technicians only. Resolves contamination that dry methods cannot.
All sensor cleaning includes a post-clean test shot inspection under controlled conditions. We report findings and advise on any underlying mirror box or shutter contamination sources.
Standard turnaround: 1-3 business days. Mail-in sensor cleaning accepted nationwide - see our Mail-In Repair service for packaging guidance.

VINTAGE CAMERA RESTORATION
Heirloom Precision - Rangefinders, TLRs & Collectible Classics
Vintage cameras carry history. Our restoration technicians specialise in the mechanical and optical revival of rangefinders, twin-lens reflexes, folding cameras, and collectible models from Leica, Hasselblad, Rolleiflex, Voigtlander, Zeiss Ikon, and beyond. We treat every restoration as an exercise in preservation as much as repair.
- Rangefinder alignment & calibration
- TLR lens and shutter service
- Folding camera bellows replacement
- Shutter unit CLA & speed calibration
- Cosmetic cleaning & exterior restoration
- Collectible value preservation (no irreversible modifications without consent)
We are one of the few shops in the Southeast with the diagnostic tools and historical knowledge to properly service pre-1970s mechanical cameras. Our technicians have restored equipment for collectors, museums, and working film photographers alike.
