Mamiya 7II 5-cent piece broke of...
Harrumph,
Just got my Mamiya 7II back from Mamiya America Corp.'s repair service. The little plastic fold-out knob that winds the blackout curtain split and fell off. They put on a new one. A five cent piece of plastic ... and $65.00 to replace it and $15.00 to ship it UPS ground back to me (I live about 14 miles from their offices). Ah, space-age polymers. But since I adore the camera (especially with the 43mm lens) I can cut them some slack. After all, it couldda been one of my Leicas & I'd rather not think about their repair prices. --Niccy Mach |

MAC's parts department is quite good. Try them first next time, if you know what part is broken. |
