Sweet. I might be looking for 35mm back. Thanks.
Pardon my ignorance, but in terms of price, service and availability of parts, which will provide a better experience? Tithes or Camera Hospital?
I think Tithes does not do servicing as it does not have dept.and parts for servicing. It will sent to Japan or other to do the job.

Any other places other than Camera Hospital?
Well, can try P&G Photographic Centre at The Adelphi or Alex Photo Peninsula Plaza.
Cheers.
Just called Tithes again, they said they've their own in house servicing center. Don't know how true is that. Nonetheless I will probably be taking it down tomorrow for a quote since they are just next to my workplace.
Will take it down to other recommendated places as suggested, over the course of the week and do a comparision.
Thanks everyone.

if it is come general servicing tithes can do it. once sent my SQAi in cos a lens fogged and it took 3 months plus, cost me 400 to change the lens cos gotta send to japan
$400?
Oh no. I have a 250mm lens with possible fog / fungus. My other 40mm and 75mm has got quite a fair bit of dust internally.
Yet to test out the body, don't know if there is any light leakage problem.
Geez. Looks like its not going to be cheap servicing these.

For fungus, it is simpler, just cleaning of the lens will do. However, if it is a fog, then chances are the whole lens elements had to be changed, thus the expensive $400.....
I sent my Tamron 70-210mm for them to repair, they quoted $200.....

It's true. I had talked with their servicing manager before and he mentioned most servicing will be done here, except lenses where major faults or faults that requires to dismentle the whole lens will be done at the manufacturer's site. The recalibration of lenses, especially electronic based lenses required absolute precision.
The last time I sent a 20-40mm for servicing and cleaning of lenses took me 3 days, however, I just sent in a 70-210mm for servicing and they require it to be sent to Japan due to the full dismantle process and they mentioned it will take at LEAST 1 month for the lens to come back to my hands ;(

That depends on how bad are the lenses ...... $440 can probably get you a new 2nd handed ETRS + AE Prism (not the AE III hor) body from Ebay .... with spare change somemore
.... wat's wrong with the AE finder?Thus if you let me think .... I will see how bad are the lenses .... maybe you can check with camera hospital on the price to clean the lenses?

I know $440 can get me a 2nd body + some additional accessories if I am lucky. Dilemma now.
Anyway, shutter is not firing, something in the body needs to be replaced. 2 lenses are quite dusty internally with I think some fogging. AE finder like not bright enough but still useable.
Oh yeah, I did check out camera hospital.
