During my latest photo shoot I noticed my Canon FTb hot shoe isn't working and after close inspection the shutter curtain isn't completing it's travel completely about every 6 shots or so. Does anyone know of a good camera repair CLA person in Canada or the central US? Thanks in advance. Annoying part is this one was bought first hand, not through eBay and first time I paid over $50 US for a body only, no lens, strap or other goodies included but hey, it's black and was calling my name.

There are several repair services listed on my "Related Links" page. Two of them, International Camera Repair and Commercial Camera Repair are in Canada (Toronto) They were recommended because of their work on Mamiya 35mm cameras, but I assume they work on the real world Canon stuff, too! herron.50megs.com/related_links.htm

Hi Ron, Thanks for the repair service info. It should come in handy. Guess I'll have to bite the bullet and pay to have this old thing repaired. I'm used to doing the smaller fixes myself (and have the parts cameras, at least they are now, to prove it) but shutter repair on a Canon is beyond me. Besides it's in such decent shape I'd hate to doink it up.

You're welcome, Curt. Those folks only got listed on my site one of two ways: (1) I have personally used them, or (2) they came highly recommended. I'm pretty confident any of them can help.

Curt, I can vouch for Commercial Camera Repair. I have used their services several times. What really surprised me was that they gave me a quote on a job that I thought was very reasonable. They then charged me substantially less than the quote. They are at 5311 Yonge Street Toronto. www.commercialcamerarepair.com. Nope. No relation. Mickey
