Optical
Equipment Repairs
Our
workshop
can handle most
repairs on-site. When you bring or send in your equipment,
please give us as much information about the fault as
possible. Don’t be afraid to tell us if it has been
dropped - even a small drop or knock can cause big problems, especially
with heavy or electronic equipment. Sand and water can also
cause equipment failure, please tell us if you think it has been in
either.

Fungus
growths on lens elements...
Over
the past
few years we are
seeing increasing numbers of optical equipment with fungal
growths. It is easy to check for: - look through the scope or
binoculars from the wrong end or if it’s a camera lenses open
up the aperture then hold the unit to a bright light. If you
see any dark patches that may look like cobwebs then the optics need to
be looked at. If you catch it in the early stages we can
clean the affected elements.
Collimation
of
binoculars...
If you are getting a
double image when looking through your binoculars they will need to be
re-collimated. We will need to dismantle
them, the prisms and optics will then be cleaned and
realigned. This is quite a common occurrence especially if
they have been dropped or knocked.
We
also offer a
repair service
for all photographic equipment - cameras (digital or film), lenses,
projectors, camcorders (digital and analogue).

photographic website at www.newtonellis.co.uk for
