If your classic\/vintage\/old camera or film camera can no longer be repaired or serviced by the manufacturer, try one of the following independent camera service centers in Japan. Note that most of them do not provide English information or may have difficulty communicating in English. If you contact them, you need to do so in Japanese. You must also be in Japan to send\/receive your camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before sending your camera for repair, contact the repair center to see if they can repair your camera and ask for a repair cost estimate. They may have a contact form, email address, or phone number. Best to communicate in Japanese. Besides walk-in service, you can also send in your camera for a repair estimate. Email addresses are usually shown on their website.
*All websites are in Japanese only. (Reference:\u00a0Asahi Camera magazine Jan. 2019 issue)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
