recommended by minox 8x11mm and 35mm camera repairers

Every repair has a one year guarantee.  No arguments no weasel-like statements of plausible deniability. We do not cover accidental damage caused by user failure (for example, incorrect battery usage, battery explosions, etc).

We aim for a maximum of three weeks (not three-six months).  Repairs with a demanded timescale will have a 25% surcharge. Customs details are explained on the form.

The specialist skills and parts needed to service and repair these cameras means that typical servicing repair costs have a range from £99-£399. Most are mid-range. Rigas and Minox II repair costs reflect the relative complexity and technical difficulties from a 1930s-1940's camera.

We can repair the following standard models:

A,B,C,BL,EC,LX,CLX,EC-X

We can repair many VEF Minox Riga camera faults.  Common repairable faults to all Minox 8x11 but particular to the VEF model. Riga repairs are more expensive, reflecting the individual nature of the cameras: all were hand built with adjustment per camera. Parts are very scarce

We can repair most faults with the Minox II. We cannot retrofit the film lens once removed. Minox would discreetly replace the five element film lens with a III-type complan lens. Parts are scarce.

Our repair offerings on AX cameras are restricted. This is because of the non-availabity of parts unique to the AX, such as the shutter and focus dial: these were based on but different than those on the LX. We can peform most repairs, however.

Our repair offerings on Gold (AU) cameras may be restricted. This is because of the non-availabity of parts unique to the AX, such as the shutter and focus dial.
