I meant Camtex (camera repair shop) which is on Burrard Street. It's a small shop, and the guy that runs it has been doing so since 1979. :-) Oops sorry!

I still have my Dad's old Minolta XD-11 from around the time I was born. It was my first SLR, and I still enjoy using it. Knowing that you will end up paying around $1 for each shot really puts you in a different mindset. Your biggest problem might be finding interesting film. I think Kodak is shutting down its film business, which will kill off all sorts of options. Get it fixed, absolutely. I still have my Dad’s old Minolta XD-11 from around the time I was born.

It was an awesome camera to learn on. Using old cameras like that is pretty fun, plus it can help you learn a bit more about photography. I know that learning with an old camera like that certainly helped me a bit when I was starting out. The first camera that I learned how to do SLR photography was my mom’s old Nikon FE2.

An old guy runs the shop and could probably give you a quote on getting it fixed. My battery door on my digital camera was broken and I wasn't able to get a replacement piece for it so he drilled a little hole and inserted a tiny screw; so now I open & close it using a small screwdriver... since it only took him a second to do and only the small screw he didn't charge me for the repair. Anyways old cameras are cool. Have fun using it. :-) I just got my camera fixed at a place on 8th street Vancouver, called VanCam.

I similarly have an acoustic guitar that my father bought in 1971. It's the first thing I'd take out of the house in the event of a fire. That’s really cool.
