he doesn't charge much. as far as I recall, he won't do manual focus lenses anymore but he is very handy with the newer electronics stuff. sourcing parts is another issue.

Post by: FGAng on August 15, 2017, 14:31:13: Rick tutors me remotely, and David tutors me at the "void deck" at his apartment block. My good friend and he indeed is very humble and charges very little for his work. I think he can double his charge and still be significantly cheaper than branded service fellows.
