Mentioning the lost art of camera repairs. Mark Hama for Yashica Mat 124, 124G is going to be one of those lost treasures to the collector community. I just hope that the cameras that I have serviced last me another 50 years before needing service! Longer than my lifetime. I would be more concerned about film as a dying media. The lenses will live on adapted on my digital cameras. 🙁 I got into this game way too late.
I’ve read several comments from people saying Mark Hama has been hard to get ahold of recently. Do you know if he’s officially retired from repairing cameras, or is he just taking a break? Once he stops, that will be a huge resource lost.
