Affordable Camera Repairs

I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ35. Nice little pocket camera that produces decent pics on Automatic.

Its Achilles heel is that it has twice got a piece of debris on the lens, which is intrusive on long range shots. The first time they fixed it under guarantee. Now they want £80 to dismantle and clean the lens. Plus postage. Very expensive for a simple procedure, and not far off the cost of a new camera.

Are there any freelancers that can do this job any cheaper?

 

Try Johnsons Photopia in Stoke on Trent.

 

Thanks. I've sent off my enquiry to them.
