Repair - Beam Splitter Prisms - Where?

xrey · 17th November 2003

Anyone knows where to have RF beam splitter prisms repaired here in SG? It got decemented in my FED 3, didn't give it much TLC, I guess. Well actually I already sold it, but if it happens again with my FED 2, at least I'll know where to go. I already passed by John 3:16 to ask for info, and The Camera Workshop, both guys I asked responded "FED? Wha?" And the guy talked about getting spare parts here and there. From what I know, the only way to get a spare part is to cannibalise another FED. Well maybe its not worth it to have it repaired by a shop, it might cost more than what you paid for the whole darn thing. Seems I just answered my question. Duh.

Maybe u shld juz throw it away if cannot make it liaoz... not worth the effort and money since they are so cheaply available anyway... the workmanship cost will add up and think for russian cameras, not easy to find the spare parts, esp in Singapore where russian cameras aint the norm - maybe in Russia
