The hardest repairs don't get solved by one person alone.

Some issues don't match the usual pattern. That's when we pull in a second set of eyes, compare notes, and dig until the real cause shows up - not just the obvious one.

If your lens has already been to one shop and the problem's still there, it might be worth a second look.

When you finally spot the problem 😆

10/08/2026

Here's a repair story we're pretty proud of.

Studio lens focus controls fail. The replacement part? Discontinued. We see this repair need a lot, and we used to have to tell customers the lens was done.

Our Lead Tech, David, didn't accept that.

He designed and machined a custom replacement — right here in our shop. Now we make it on-site for every lens that comes in with the same failure.

$600 repair vs $2–3K+ for a new replacement. These lenses now stay in service.

Got a lens with a slipping, chattering, or dead focus control? It's not done.

The people behind "We Keep You Shooting."

Every lens that comes through passes through hands that have spent years learning exactly how these things work.

We love our team!

Watch a lens come apart, the right way.

Sped up for you - in real life, every step here gets full attention. Rushing a teardown is how a simple repair turns into a bigger problem.

This is where the whole job gets set up for success or failure.

Proof up front. Clarity if anything ever comes into question.

Every lens leaves our bench with a full written report - what was diagnosed, what was fixed, how it tested before it shipped. That's also why you get 30 days: real time to confirm everything's right, with documentation showing exactly what condition it left in.

Gear takes a hit at every level of this industry.

A $250 filter saved a local news camera from a foul ball this year. ESPN hasn't always been so lucky - multiple broadcasts have seen camera lenses shattered live on air. And a $12,000 lens at a Marlins game got called "beyond repair" on the spot.

"Beyond repair" is a judgment call, not always a fact.

Whether it's a $250 filter or a $250,000 lens, get it assessed before you assume the worst.

"Properly calibrated" isn't a buzzword - here's what it actually looks like.

Back focus verified. Fl**ge distance checked. Iris tracking confirmed. Every element tested against spec, not eyeballed. Here's the end of the process in our dark room, on our calibration bench.

A lens that's slightly off won't announce itself - it'll just cost you a soft pull you don't catch until the edit.

A client's lens looked done for. We weren't sure we could save it either.

A replacement of the same model would have run $40,000-$60,000. We repaired it instead - for under $4,000.

We can't share who the client is (they wished to remain anonymous), but we can share the math.

Before you give up on a lens, let us take a look.

8 client lenses last year that were headed for the landfill. All 8 got fixed instead.

Here's the real math on what that saves:

EFP lens: repair runs $3K-$5K vs. $30K-$70K to replace.
ENG lens: repair runs $2.5K-$4K vs. $15K-$25K to replace.

That's tens of thousands of dollars saved per lens - and real six-figure savings for our clients over the course of a year.

If your lens looks like a write-off, let us take a look first.
