• Are they still cheap in Japan? Looks like they are all 750+ on eBay now, even the ones from Japan.
    All these cameras are prone to fail, such a shame as the quality of their photos is amazing. I actually have contacts for a couple of people who do the impossible repairs, already sent my hexar off once for a shutter release replace.

  • No one seems to be doing the repairs now although apparently they still repair them in Japan as they have parts but seems like on one here or the US is doing anything now with them when they bricks.

    The word cheap I think is a loose word, Id say £5/6 is cheap but with the ones from japan you'll get fuckin humped on import duty and stuff. When I visit japan im gonna buy a few next!

  • But they're still super expensive in Japan, too, no? Like the cheapest one I can find on sale is $868 (on Yahoo shopping, not eBay) with most being $1000+. That's crazy for a P&S that could break at any minute.

  • I've said it before but the guy here https://www.fotonaprawa.pl has repaired a Ricoh GR1, Ricoh GRll and a Fuji GA645 for us. All with shutter problems so a new ribbon cable was needed. Which it seems to also be common on contaxs ( had a TVS repaired by another person ) so if you have some broken T2s it's worth checking with them.
