About us
We give film cameras a second roll
A small workshop that refurbishes, grades and tests film cameras and lenses, and develops the film they shoot.
Our story
A small bench for old cameras
We started by fixing our own cameras: new light seals, a cleaned shutter, a test roll. Friends asked for theirs, and the bench never emptied.
Today we refurbish 35mm and medium format cameras and lenses, grade them honestly and develop the film people shoot with them.
- Every camera tested on film, not just dry-fired
- Grades that describe the looks, not the function
- Plain advice for first rolls and fiftieth rolls
The bench team (sample text)
On the bench
Cleaned, adjusted and tested by one person
Each camera stays with one technician from strip-down to test roll, so every test sheet has a name on it.
- New light seals where they are needed
- Shutter speeds checked on a tester
- Test roll developed in house (sample)
