Nikon R10 service

Post by FatSparrow »

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know where I can get my Nikon R10 serviced in the UK? Has anybody on the forum ever used Sendean to service their cameras? Are they any good.
Thanks in advance!

I am not aware of anyone in the UK that can do this. There is Willard Engineering in the US and, I think, someone in Vienna whose details I do not have to hand. I believe thses cameras have also come up for sale reconditioned in Germany. What exactly is wrong with the camera?

Considering the reports on cinematography.com I wouldn't send it to mr Willard :)

Mr Piel in Vienna did/does work on R10/R8. I am not sure if he is still in business.

What is wrong with the camera? Sometimes it helps to only put the Rew/For button on Forward.

If cant find anything on the forums I would give Andreas at super 8 arena in germany a try.

Ive sent a few cameras there (from the uk). He's extremely helpful and offered me a few solutions before I sent the cameras. He explained the whole process and cameras came back running like a dream. Pretty cheap as well!

I did speak to Sendean around the same time but they just said to send the camera to them and they would look at it at a cost of around £80, before any repairs. I'm sure i did see on this forum that they outsource anyway so I would skip the middle man.

Good luck, hope you get it running.

Hi everyone,

Many thanks for the replies. There's not really anything wrong with it at the moment, but looking to the future - I do want to keep it running as long as possible. I have seen the thread on cinematography.com about Willard Engineering, which has put me off using him.
It would be great if someone could compile a list of servicing options for the different makes of cameras.
