In the full restoration service, we focus on providing you with the pleasure of "shooting, manipulating, and collecting".
The visibility of the viewfinder, the appearance of the double image, the focus accuracy of the rangefinder, the accuracy of the shutter speed, the feel and sound when the shutter is pressed, etc., are carefully adjusted until you are satisfied. Not to mention adjustment, we test with dedicated digital measuring equipment.
In addition to recreating the mechanics of the camera, the exterior design has been repainted to bring out the appeal of the Classic Camera to the fullest.
Repaint is a high-quality painting, so the finish is very beautiful, but dust and pinholes may occur within the acceptable range. Thank you for your understanding.
We will overhaul and maintain your camera with all our hearts so that you can use it again as an active camera.
Please contact us within 3 days after the arrival of the product in case of initial failure or failure due to shipping accident. If you can return the product, we will take responsibility and repair it free of charge. (According to Fukkokudo guarantee regulations)
