Nikon Is Offering Repair Services for Vintage Cameras and Lenses

If you’ve ever wanted to get your vintage Nikon camera or lens repaired, now’s the time to do it. The company’s imaging center in Japan is offering a bevy of repair services on your old and discontinued shooters. For example, a faulty body back on your 35mm SLR camera will be checked and restored. Moreover, dust and mold on your manual focus lens will be inspected and cleaned.
