Eric Hendrickson is the USA Forum Members’ (generally) preferred film camera and film era lens techniciam. Some International members have sent Eric rare, old cameras such as AP’s and Asahiflexes. I had him repair one of my FA43/1.9 Limiteds with a similar issue.
He started his career as a Honeywell Pentax repair tech, then continuing under Asahi. For about 15 years he managed their operation, then he started his own company to do the same. He retired about 15 years ago and continues to repair pre-digital 35mm Pentax cameras and lenses. He’s CLA’ed or repaired hundreds of cameras and lenses for Forum Members.
