Contax 139 Quartz repair

Great service from the initial telephone enquiry through to the collection of my fully serviced Contax 139 Quartz camera. Quality of the whole experience was excellent.

Happy I found them, will use again

I contacted Sendean regarding water compromising my lens and body, and they confirmed that this was something they could undertake. Lens and body were stripped, cleaned, overhauled and serviced. Turnaround time was as quoted, and they contacted me when my gear was ready collect. I swear my lens was in better condition after Sendean’s work than when I bought it new. Superb – would thoroughly recommend.

Great service

Sendean were able to repair my digital camera including replacement of electronics and lens.

They communicated well, completed the work within my deadline and posted the camera back to me well packaged with bubblewrap.

I would use them again in the future.

compact digital Canon camera good as new

My compact digital Canon camera has come back as good as new after a repair (mud had got into the zoom lens) and service. It wasn't cheap but I was impressed by the fact Sendean warned me the repair wasn't economic (as more than a 2nd hand replacement). But I decided it was worth it as I really like my camera and there was no certainty one I bought online would be in good order. Sendean were helpful and informative throughout.

Great repair

Our analogue camera had severe water damage. They repaired and serviced the camera and the pictures taken are better than before. Service was good and communication was good. I would recommend.

Easy clear communication. My emails and questions were answered same day. Once I decided to go with service it was processed straight away and they did a great job.

Updated review/ Minolta Dynax 7

The aperture control mechanism of the Minolta Dynax 7 has a known fault and will eventually fail. I sent mine to have the problem dealt with before that happened.
The report from the technician did not appear to address the issue and a member of staff had to explain that the repair would include changing the faulty gears in addition to a service.
I agreed to go ahead and the camera came back quickly but now inside a case badged as the Minolta Alpha 7.
This may seem like a very small thing but to some of us who like uniformity in our kit, it matters very much. It no longer twins with the Konica Minolta Dynax 7 D it used to sit next to.
I have attempted to get an explanation of why the change of case was necessary because it was not mentioned in the technician's report but so far no
response.
Update 17/02/2026
The manager telephoned me on the day the review appeared. He explained that there had been a mistake and arranged for the Royal Mail to collect the camera from my home the next day and return it to be put in the correct case.
This was the obvious thing to do and should not have required a review here to get the ball rolling in much the same way that it should not have taken three days to get a reply to my email.
However, I now have my camera back via Special Delivery and can say that the company responded quickly once the manager was on the case.

Contax G2 repair.

Sendean Cameras did an excellent job on my Contax G2. I sent in my G2 for an auto-focusing problem. An AF sensor assembly was replaced. The camera was re-calibrated and serviced. All in it took 3 weeks to complete. I would highly recommend Sendean Cameras for any camera repair and service.

Great service.

They serviced, adjusted and cleaned my Agiflex camera which is over 70 years old. It came back looking like a new camera both inside and out. I can,t recommend them high enough and i will be out using it in the warmer weather.
