Overhaul
we think is besically "repair aimed at full
restoration of functions." We clean up the
appearance as much as we can, but
unless otherwise stated by a customer about scratches
and dents we leave them as they are as long as
they are not associated with the functions.
For customers stick to camera/lens appearance,
full restore including painting and exterior parts
replacement is available as well as overhaul.
It will bring old camers' exterior and functions
closer to the same level as new. The work depends
on customers' needs.

Kanto-made
Parts
*These are just some example. We have a lot more parts that we reproduced. |
|
| The biggest challenge on restore of old cameras
is securing of spare parts even more than technique.
Concerning spare parts that are no longer available,
if necessary and if we can clear cost problems
involved, we remanufacture them as good as the
original after checking each mechanism. |

Element for Canon 50mm f1.2 LTM |
|
Most of the Canon 50/1.2 LTM lens has an issue of haze of an inner element.
It's the aging deterioration of glass itself, and it cannot be solved by cleaning or repolishing.
We have reproduce this element to provide service in the past, but we had to stop offering the service since we had run out of the parts.
We finally reproduced the replacement elements once again with cooperate from an optical manufacture in Japan.
If you have a Canon 50/1.2 LTM lens with haze, we can repair it.
*We don't sell this part.

LEICA M3
View Finder & Beam Splitting Prism Restoration
|
We restore rangefinder
and recover the level of viewfinder visibility of
Leica M3. The work depends on the condition of rangefinder
though, disassembling rangefinder assembly to get
rid of inside dust and polishing a surface makes it
clean enough. If necessary, we re-evaporate beam-splitting
prism, replace half mirror (Kanto made), and re-glue
inner parts together.
We can also re-evaporate pentaprism-mirror, produce
surface mirror and half mirror. |

| MTF(Modulation
Transfer Function) |
This is an optical test equipments
for analyzing contrast, which is one of the factors
to judge the lens performance. With this equipment,
we analyze the contrast at the center and around
of the lens.
MTF lens capacity analyzing is indispensable especially
to assembling and adjusting after lens re-polishing.
We introduced the MTF analyzing device fast, and
we have been making assurance doubly sure on lens
repair.
We were taught at Leica service training that
a lens repaired without MTF measuring instrument
was not Leica lens any more. We provide repair
service of our own stricter standard as long as
repair service based on Leica standard. |
