I have never had a CLA done before. The camera in question is a Canon FTb. Shutter works, seals have been replaced, meter works ... but meter and shutter need recalibration (meter is off by a bit and there is shutter capping occurring at higher speeds). How should I proceed in this regards? I most probably have to mail out the camera to some repair service. What are the right questions I should ask in advance? How can I judge the place is reliable? Can somebody recommend a place in the US or in Canada, which is trustworthy and economical? Just for reference, what does a thorough CLA include? Shutter dis-assembly for cleaning and lubrication? Shutter brake replacement? Curtain accelerations and timing adjustment? Meter adjustment? Thorough lubrication? Finally, what is the ballpark figure I should expect to pay for this? Thanks.
