A guy at the Parts Swap in Denver told me he refuses to touch anything made after 1985, and it made me think about who we're actually fixing cameras for
I was digging through a bin of old wind levers at the Denver photo swap a few weeks back and got talking to a repair guy in his 70s who said he turns away every digital body that comes through his door. At first I figured he was just stuck in his ways, but then he said something that stuck with me: most of his customers are younger folks who inherited a camera from a grandparent and just want it to work again. It made me wonder if we're losing something by splitting into old school and new school camps instead of just fixing whatever lands on the bench, so I'm curious how the rest of you handle a customer who brings in a beat up film body versus a dead mirrorless.
