I have found Mark Hansen's Classic Camera repair to be an excellent business. He has repaired…read moreseveral cameras for me with great results. As Mark specializes in old, obsolete cameras, it is important to understand that many of the projects Mark takes on will be less than perfect, i.e. not as new, when he is done with them; however, he never fails, if it is humanly possible, to return a functional, entirely usable piece of equipment. So far, Mark has performed CLA and repairs on cameras including Foca, Rollei, Agfa, and Zeiss. As a bonus, and unlike other repair persons I have dealt with, Mark is unfailing and prompt in communication. If you have an old camera that can be repaired. Mark will get it running again.

Mark came highly recommended until lately. The communication was pretty good until I sent the…read morecamera. I paid promptly but don't feel as I got the same treatment. There were a few things wrong with the camera. Some were fixed. One wasn't. The big problem was the shutter blades sticking. That was some dried up lubricants. Those were cleaned up well. The lenses and some of the other things were cleaned up nice. The one thing that didn't get addressed is the shutter speed knob. It's very tough to turn on the lowest and higher shutter speeds. That was the second big reason that I sent the camera to him. Unfortunately, it seems that it was not addressed well. It's still very tough to rotate. The camera took an about 4/5 months to get back to me. I inquired about once a month or more without responses. I don't mind that it took 4-5 months. Leica takes at least 6 months to turn a lens. But the communication left me with the feeling I'd never get it back. One day it just showed up. No notes, no emails. What he did fix was fixed well. He mentions fixes having being warrantied. I just don't want to trust the round trip.

Mid-State, I'm surprised that I haven't written a review before. When I needed a boat cover for my…read moreSea Ray and didn't have a clue on what would work best, I followed your suggestion and had you create a cover that would cover the whole boat, windshield included. That cover is still going strong over 8 years later. When we bought a new pontoon boat, it came with a cover that shed its color when both installing and removing. It was wonderful if you wanted to look like a Smurf. Gordy created a custom cover that not only fits, but doesn't turn my wife into Smurfette. When our puppy chewed off a button from an outdoor furniture cushion, it was Mid-State to the rescue, Gordy is even willing to take on a project of researching and creating a convertible top for my little roadster. For all your upholstering needs and more, I wholeheartedly recommend Mid-State.

We got rained on for two holes then enjoyed a very nice course. We golfed the Lakes course. The forward tees were 5300 yards. That is long! The course was in good shape, despite all the rain. No restrictions on where golf carts could drive. The carts did not have GPS so we were looking for yardage markers most of the round. We played the round right around 4 hours. With many cancellations due to rain, we never saw another group on the course. Staff was friendly. Great experience.
